Yoga Nidra and Strong throughout menopause - a workshop about movement and rest

Yoga Nidra and Strong throughout menopause – a workshop about movement and rest 

Welcome to a workshop that addresses some of the most important things you should know about menopause – for example that it starts around the age of 40, that it affects us both physically and mentally, that the majority of women get symptoms and perhaps most importantly of all: that life is not over!

This particular workshop is focused on both physical and mental rest and will answer questions such as:  Why is movement and rest so important during this period of a woman’s life? What can we do ourselves to feel as good as possible?  Why are we so reluctant to seek help?

Monika gives a committed and vital lecture on menopause, and this will then be followed by a lovely Yoga Nidra led by Jennie Wadsten.

This workshop will be recorded – with only Jenny and Monika will be visible in the recording. Access is available for 7 days after the workshop date.

Monika has authored three books and her latest book, “Strong 50+” (Norstedts) was released on August 10.

In recent years, Monika has made herself known as a committed menopause activist and runs, among other things, the Instagram account “Strong through menopause”, as well as an FB group with the same name.

Jennie Wadsten has over 20 years of experience working full time with yoga, and over the years, thousands of people have attended her popular yoga teacher training courses around the world. In recent years, menopause has gained an increased focus in her courses, and in particular how movement and rest can effect hormones and neurotransmitters.
