Hello!

I am Sarah, in 2022 I trained in Menopause Yoga with Petra Coveney of Menopause Yoga and with Birthlight. Peri-menopausal, I wanted to find ways to support myself in the coming years and have immersed myself in menopause education since then. Now I am facilitating menopause workshop retreats to support others going on their menopause journey, and to create safe spaces for our community to grow and support each other as we do.

A safe space to begin exploring the new phase of life feeling relaxed and calm, thank you.

Are you - approaching the menopause? in the midst of perimenopause? postmenopausal? Is your menopause a result of surgery? Illness? or POI?

Have you been postmenopause for some time now? Do you have menopause symptoms? Do you have no symptoms but know things are changing?

You are welcome at my menopause workshops if you want to explore ways to support yourself through this time of life no matter what you are experiencing – all of our journeys are unique. If you have wisdom to share with others, if you are curious about how your menopause journey might go, if you need some understanding, if you want to feel more empowered, please do come along.

You don’t need to have done any yoga before – we explore simple accessible movement, breathing and relaxation which anyone can do. You don’t need to be able to get down onto the floor, touch your toes, be flexible or look anything like an instagram yogi. I always give options and alternatives for the yoga practice so that you can work to your own individual needs.

The menopause session was really good. The room was set up in a very welcoming way. All the ladies were lovely and it was great to hear others experiences.

As a relative newcomer to yoga, I really enjoyed seeing how you can use yoga to remove stress through activity and meet with people who are in the same boat.
