Our Third Menopause Yoga Workshop with Leanne Jones & Hannah Clark “Menopause Yoga- An Ayurvedic approach” Focusing on Fatigue, heaviness, depression & mood swings. In Ayurveda, these are some of the kapha dosha symptoms. Saturday 3rd May 2025 11:00-2:30pm £40 (including tea & snack) It's open to anyone who is experiencing or has experienced menopause symptoms and would like to connect with other women going through this incredible stage of life. Remember: Menopause symptoms can begin in your late 30’s and continue months or even years after your last period as your body adjusts. The Menopause Yoga method created by Petra Coveney aims to Educate, Empower & Embrace the menopause as an opportunity for Self-knowledge, health & empowerment. Our third menopause yoga workshop will focus on imbalances in the kapha dosha, which commonly show up as depression, lethargy and heaviness, amongst other things. The workshop will look at some simple ways you can start to embrace those changes through yoga, breathwork, meditation and ayurveda. The session will be led by Leanne, LeAnanda Yoga founder who has completed the 40hr Menopause Yoga training with Petra Coveney, along with her 13 year teaching experience and Hannah Clark who is an Ayurveda student clinician. Ayurveda is the science of life and sits alongside Yoga as a holistic approach to mind body healing and health. Key elements that feature in a Menopause Yoga workshop: 1. Womens circle 2.
