Menstrual cycle awareness is crucially important when trying to understand the needs of your yoga students and this guide will give you the knowledge you need to confidently address the menstrual cycle when teaching students in group and one-on-one settings via the principles of both western and Ayurvedic approaches.
This book addresses the importance of the menstrual cycle and how Ayurvedic principles can best be applied to understand the anatomical, physiological and hormonal changes that take place during different stages and weeks throughout the menstrual cycle.
Anja Brierley Lange highlights the purpose and importance of each phase of the menstrual cycle and how yoga teaching can and should be tailored accordingly to your students’ menstrual needs.
