Join Zoë Martin (accredited Yoga Therapist) and Jenny Bazely (registered dietitian) to learn how yoga practice and dietary intake can support and minimise common menopausal symptoms.

This one day workshop has been designed for all women looking to stay healthy before, during and beyond the menopause.

Zoë will teach a series of therapeutic yoga practices designed to support:

• Hot flushes/night sweats

• Mood swings

• Anxiety

• Fatigue/insomnia

• Brain fog

• Joint pain & Muscle stiffness

• Osteoporosis

Jenny will be covering how dietary intake can help manage symptoms throughout the menopause and help you achieve good dietary habits now and for the future. This will include:

• Description of hormones and how these work in the body. How can diet help?

• Blood sugar levels - why keeping these stable can help you & how to do this.

• Phyto -oestrogen’s. How to increase oestrogen rich foods in the diet and how they can help menopause symptoms.

• Calcium intake -osteoporosis risk increases with the menopause. A diet rich in calcium can help slow down the loss of calcium from your bones.

• Insomnia - a significant symptom of the menopause and one that can potentially be helped with dietary modifications.

• Gut health - there is an increasing body of evidence about what bugs we have in our gut can do to help our health. One of these benefits of a gut full of friendly bacteria is better mental health.

• We know anxiety and depression can be a debilitating symptom of the menopause, even if you have never experienced mental health concerns in the past. Diet can really help support your mental as well as your physical health.
