Menopause Yoga Workshop: Preparing for Second Spring
16th March, 14.00 - 17.00.
Revive Balham Studio, London (in person)
In this workshop we look at the physiological understanding of what’s going on during peri-menopause and menopause, and the triggers that can aggravate the most common and intense symptoms, such as low mood, lethargy, sluggish digestion and lack of zest for life. We will practice yoga for soothing these unsettling symptoms and also get snuggled in with some deeply soothing guided Yoga Nidra meditation to explore the transformational possibilities.
We will explore a toolkit of techniques, guidance, reflection and support to help you move through your menopause journey with ease and confidence. It will provide an enjoyable and safe space where women can come together and share their experiences, laugh and embrace the changes while also learning from one another. Practising yoga in the company of other women can feel supportive and reminds us that we are NOT alone.
Tiffy has been trained in Menopause Yoga by Petra Coveney in offering holistic support to women navigating the challenges and the possibilities as they move through their own unique menopause journey.
Women of all ages welcome. No previous yoga experience is required.
The workshop will include:
• An introduction to the stages of menopause and how hormone changes affect our body and mind.
• A safe and supportive women’s circle.
• A yoga practice especially designed to alleviate the most common menopause
symptoms, including breathing techniques, gentle vinyasa flow, restorative yoga and mindful meditation practices.
• Journaling and self-reflection.
• Handouts.
Menopause Yoga Workshop for Hot Flushes and Hot Emotions.
23rd March 2024, 13.15 - 16.15.
Oru Space, East Dulwich, London (in person)
Hot flushes are the most common menopause symptom. The feeling can vary from a mild glow to an endless torrent of sweat, and for some it can cause insomnia, disrupt work and destroy confidence. Hot emotions are also common and, when rages seem to tear out of nowhere, they can feel bewildering or like you are going mad.
In this workshop we’ll look at the physiological understanding of what’s going on, the triggers behind these intense symptoms, and we’ll also get snuggled in with some deeply soothing guided meditation to explore the transformational possibilities. This workshop will offer a toolkit of techniques, guidance, reflection and support to help you move through your menopause journey with ease and confidence. It will provide an enjoyable and safe space where women can come together and share their experiences, laugh and embrace the changes while also learning from one another.

Creating a Yoga Home Practice
Have you reached that point where you’d like to develop your own yoga practice at home but you are not sure where to start? Maybe you have already begun a home practice but it feels a bit ‘stuck’? Then this workshop is the one for you!
In this workshop you will create the kind of self practice that works for the life you lead, your body and your schedule. Learn the tools you need to create your own personal yoga practice; one that you can meaningfully integrate into your life. We will explore how to craft a sequence, how to give it focus and how to tailor a session which suits your lifestyle. There will be discussion at the beginning and then we will move on to explore and develop your very own class.
This workshop is open to all students who want to develop a self practice, except complete beginners.
“It only takes a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still, and just like that, something in you settles, softens, makes space for imperfection.”
— Danna Faulds, from ‘Walk Slowly’
