Menopause is a natural transitional phase in a woman’s life that marks the end of her fertility and the beginning of a renewed way of being. For many women, the hormonal shifts of menopause can bring challenging physical symptoms and emotions that can leave them feeling tired, depleted, and confused on how to best support themselves. The experience can be isolating if there is not the space to share the experience to gain insight from other women or health care providers. It is important to talk about, understand, and normalize this transition.
We are here to provide hope. Let’s investigate together how hormonal imbalances and nutritional deficiencies can turned this normal process into mentally fatiguing, physically uncomfortable, and sometimes debilitating process. Most importantly, let’s talk about tools and lifestyle changes to help reduce these physical and emotion challenges and bring you back into balance.
In this workshop, Roots & River Yoga founder and Yin Yoga specialist, Machelle Lee, and Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Daemon Jones, blend their experience and expertise to share and explore menopause from a wholistic physiological, emotional, energetic point of view.
During this workshop, Dr. Dae will guide a discussion about how pushing ourselves to “do it all’ can causes bigger hormonal shifts during the menopausal time resulting physical symptoms and changes way we view ourselves. She will suggest lifestyle and dietary tools to relevantly support this hormonal shift during, perimenopause, during menopause and post-menopausal life.
Machelle will lead participants through a meditative Yin Yoga session stimulating acupressure lines and pressure points support cooling, nurturing, and harmonizing qualities. Throughout the practice, she will present insights for menopausal care from a traditional Chinese medicine lens as well as share simple ritual ideas to connect your life meaningfully to this season of life.
We will have time to talk, share and connect as women with unique stories. Together, we will discuss and navigate manageable strategies and meaningful rituals for health care during this important life transition.
