This is a 90hr training delivering the yogic and western understanding of Menopause and the yogic approach to supporting a woman in this phase of life. 

 

Menopause, which means “the ceasing of menstruation” is the status given to a women who has not had a menstrual bleed for 12 months. It is not however where it all begins. Perimenopause is the term given to women who are experiencing a change in hormone levels that could be said to be as a result of the natural aging process.  Most women enter the perimenopausal period within their 40s although some women can begin as early as 34. The body is shifting from the fertile years to the menopausal years. During this time each and every menstrual cycle can be used almost like a messenger relaying the truth about the woman's physical and mental health.

​

Most women find that as they enter their 40s they begin to notice a new level of dissatisfaction with their lives and with the world.  The promise of having it all may be becoming crashingly unlikely or perhaps feel like a prison.  Questions begin to arise within around the meaning of life and indeed of anything. Fear of aging combined with fear of not achieving all that one had hoped for added with the pressures of parenting, relationships and work and the melting pot begins to overflow.

 

The 40s can be seen as the corridor to our 50s.  These years are where we begin the gentle undoing, the unmasking, the unlearning.  We have spent a number of years fuelled by our trusty hormones doing all that has been asked of us. Yes each month we have wobbled, questioned and sometimes screamed that something seems off but we have eventually got back to doing what is needed until another moon arrives.

​

But during these years we start to take a look in the closets we left firmly locked. Sometimes we open them ourselves and at others they burst open spilling the contents all over lives and forcing us to face what was hidden.

This it the true process of the rite of passage that leads us from our Mothering years to our Wisdom years.  We complete are gathering, clear out that which is no longer serving us and prepare to step into a new stage of life.

This decade long journey is not something to fear but an opportunity to get to know yourself fully, accept yourself unconditionally and prepare for what some believe to be the best years of your life.

 

We believe that our miscomprehension of what the journey of Menopause actually represents is denying women the chance to prepare themselves mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually for the next major evolution they will take.

 

In our modern lives and western culture childbirth and raising families has largely been pushed back into the 30s & 40s creating a complicated landscape for women to navigate, particularly for those who find themselves on fertility treatment programs in the 40s.

 

It is out belief that creating spaces where women can gather together and discuss openly individual stories, share their fear, their grief, their happiness and learn from each other is needed more than ever. 

 

The Wisdom Moons is an opportunity to experience this for yourself and learn how to facilitate these yoga circles for others. It us a truly unique journey into understanding the journey of Menopause, exploring both the eastern and yogic philosophy.
