Menopause workshop retreats
Paging all women in their 40s. Are you experiencing brain fog, feeling flat and sluggish, anxiety and overwhelmed, or sleeplessness - you might be in perimenopause. Little Glimmer has designed 3-hour workshop retreats to learn why this is happening and simple, restorative yoga techniques to alleviate symptoms. You'll meet like-minded women and relish some time to recharge and restore.
​
If you are in the 5-10 years post-Menopause, these retreats can help too.
​
The techniques you’ll learn and the practice we’ll enjoy in these retreats are based on more than 10 years of specialising in Menopause Yoga from Petra Coveney, the mother of Menopause Yoga. I became a certified Menopause Yoga teacher with Petra. Over the past decade, she has researched, curated, refined, tried, and tested yoga techniques for women during their menopause transition (pre and post-menopause).
These techniques are not necessarily meant to replace a regular yoga practice. You can try them at home (and some of them even at work or out) to alleviate specific pre- and post-menopausal symptoms. We’ll explore where the symptoms are coming from, which nutrition and supplements experts recommend, specific breathing exercises, yoga poses, restorative practices, and mindfulness. Everyone will experience the methods differently, so there will be options to see what works for you.
Our retreats and courses suit every woman, from beginners to advanced yogis. While educational, they also have a relaxing retreat element so that you can leave with knowledge and a lovely recharge!
