Winter Solstice ONLINE workshop.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are approaching the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night. This is an invitation join me in circle, to nourish yourself within this seasonal natural pull to go into the darkness, the quietness and the contemplative. Time to rest and restore, and to dream into the future.

A day of mindful baking, creating and being in our bodies as we turn towards the gifts of winter……slowing down, tuning in and becoming quiet.

One of the loveliest things we can do as the days grow darker is to turn our hand to creative endeavours such as baking and crafting. These slowww pursuits create a mindful landscape in which to rest in. Mother nature is leading by example as the nights grow longer and the leaves fall to the ground, and the earth becomes still and quiet. So often though we find ourselves entering winter and doing exactly the opposite! Let’s instead embrace the rhythms of nature and slow down our bodies and minds through slow mindful ways of being.

The Perimenopause is a time of great change, vulnerability and transition, not just to our lives but also to our bodies, and the pelvis in particular.It is the time that the menstrual cycle starts to fluctuate and eventually stop and this has implications for women physically as well as psychologically.

Therefore it is an ideal time to pay attention to this powerful part of the female body, to connect, create awareness and cultivate health and vitality.

This workshop will give a brief outline and understanding on what can arise with the female pelvis within the time of the perimenopause from a bio/psycho/social lens.

Bringing somatic practises into our yoga can breathe new life and creativity into our teaching, whilst allowing our students to discover the deeper realms of the somatic world of sensations, feelings and emotions and all that offers .

Somatics allows the body to sense and move rather than being imposed on. This creates fertile ground for deep nervous system regulation, self-awareness, emotional wellbeing, playfulness and pleasure. It has the potential to waken up those more forgotten parts of our body and discover different ways to move and feel.

The breath is a wonderfully accessible and trauma-sensitive way to connect in with, explore and increase vitality and wellbeing in the female pelvis.

In this workshop you will:

Discover how the breath and pelvis are intimately connected

Explore accessible and trauma informed breath practises to connect into the pelvis

Learn practices to promote vitality, health and wellbeing in this powerful part of the female body

This specialist 2hr workshop is for yoga teachers, pilates instructors and fitness coaches who would like to have more knowledge and experience in creating female pelvic friendly class content which allows a woman to connect and create awareness to this very powerful but often bypassed part of the body.

The female pelvis is the seat of feminine power, creation and deep cyclical wisdom. It has a huge influence on a woman’s physical, emotional and sexual wellbeing, and takes centre stage in her experience of life - from first sexual explorations, through puberty, pregnancy & childbirth, to perimenopause and menopause.

There are a hundred and one supplements and products marketed for menopause and it’s easy to feel bamboozled. The danger is that we spend all our time scrolling to find what will help us and forget that our wisdom is within us. Like a couple of ninja Grannies, Jane and Kate are going to show you how to hack your menopause with the resources from the kitchen cupboards or on our doorstep. You don’t need fixing at all, there’s nothing wrong, perimenopause needs simple, do-able self-care that is available to all of us and doesn’t cost a packet.
