Supporting menopause with Iyengar Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda with Debbie Bartholomew and Lauren Currie

Join Debbie Bartholomew, registered Iyengar yoga therapy teacher and Lauren Currie, Iyengar yoga teacher and qualified Ayurveda Practitioner for a workshop on supporting Menopause. The workshop will start with a talk and discussion on Ayurveda for Menopause, followed by a class with Debbie on asanas to support menopausal symptoms.

Ayurveda recognises Menopause as a transition from one life stage to another. As well as physical changes and the balance of the elements in the body shifting, it also recognises the mental and emotional changes taking place. Through diet and lifestyle, Ayurveda is able to support this transition and bring balance to many common but often overwhelming symptoms such as excess heat in the body, anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance and aches and pains. We will be exploring asanas to support these symptoms and more.

In this workshop we’ll learn about the Ayurvedic principle of ‘like increases like’ and discover how powerful the right diet can be in promoting cooling and grounding qualities in the body and tackling common symptoms of menopause. You will take home simple menopause ‘diet hacks’ as well as lifestyle considerations and learn how to stay grounded with Ayurveda during this time of change.

The workshop starts with 1 hour discussion and talk and then 2 hours on the mat.

Members £30, non members £35
