Description
Book SynopsisBringing together western medical science and eastern wellbeing for menopause education, this book helps yoga teachers develop their understanding of menopause and women's health as well as support their students. Petra Coveney - creator of Menopause Yoga™ - shares yoga, breath and meditation practices, poses, and CBT and self-enquiry methods to manage menopause symptoms.
Her book helps to educate and empower women going through menopause, allowing them to embrace it as an opportunity for self-growth. It includes three main yoga sequences that focus on managing specific groups of symptoms, as well as additional sequences for sleep, menorage, and osteopenia. This is the dedicated resource for yoga teachers who want to teach Menopause Yoga™, with four detailed 90-minute class plans also available to download.
Underpinned by research and 20 years of teaching experience, Menopause Yoga helps those on their journey from peri-menopause to post-menopause to help them welcome the changes in their minds, bodies and emotions as they enter the next stage in their lives.
Trade ReviewA much-needed book, and what I hope will become required reading, for all yoga teachers, giving teachers the tools to teach appropriate sequences, with empathy and understanding for what so many of their students will be experiencing. -- Kat Farrants, Founder of Movement for Modern Life
