Women's Health Weekend: Fertility, Menstruation, Pregnancy and Menopause

Saturday, Dec. 1, 2-5 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 2, 12-3 p.mAlthough yoga began as a practice for men only, 21st century yoga students are predominantly women. Yoga can help women to navigate the hormonal shifts that occur over a lifetime. With the varied practices of asana, pranayama and meditation, women can maintain steady physical and mental strength, yet soften at times in their life cycle when that is appropriate. Ellen’s day for women’s health offers guidelines for practice in all phases of a woman’s life: menstruation, fertility, pregnancy and menopause. We’ll discuss and practice what to emphasize and what to avoid in each phase of life, giving both teachers and students useful information for a lifetime of yoga.To attend both days it is 5 with preregistration/00 at the door.One day is 5.
