Menopause Yoga

What is Menopause Yoga?

Menopause Yoga (created by Petra Coveney) is more than just yoga - it is a complex system that encourages women to see this transition as an opportunity for realising the ‘meaning’ of their lives, and their true mission in it with the awakening and activation of their innate creativity. Inspired by the seasons of a woman’s life and the teachings of Chinese philosophy, it views this age as the second spring. A women in her second spring is free to be herself and speak her own truth instead of fulfilling roles that society has given her. At a practical level, the yoga practice provides tools which help ease symptoms women experience.
