CLASSES, COURSES, CHARITY FUNDRAISING & FREE EVENTS!!



World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th October. The day was designated by the International Menopause Society (IMS) to raise awareness of the menopause and to support options to improve health and well-being for women in mid-life and beyond.


During this month I will be sharing more Medical information about Brain Fog, Anxiety and Overwhelm and offering some Wellbeing advice on ways to alleviate these symptoms with HRT, Nutrition, Herbal remedies, Exercise, Social interaction - and Menopause Yoga, of course.

When I launched Menopause Yoga in 2013, my clear aims were to EDUCATE, EMPOWER women to EMBRACE their menopause as an opportunity to improve their health and wellbeing. Drawing on the wisdom on traditional Chinese medicine, I reframed post menopause positively as a woman's SECOND SPRING. We are living longer and want to THRIVE in our post Menopause not just survive it. We have an exciting third stage of life ahead of us with so much to enjoy and explore for ourselves, and contribute to our societies.

So let's take this month to share knowledge, improve our lifestyle and finally Celebrate the Wisdom of the Menopause.


I am running a series of exciting educational events throughout October. Many of these are FREE and also fundraising for The Menopause Charity.


Scroll below to see a list of these events. I'll be posting more about these in my News blogs, Newsletters and social media this month, but you can also view live talks and free videos online via my Instagram account @menopause_yoga. Let's Celebrate and Share so that other women don't need to suffer menopause symptoms!

Menopause Wellbeing In The Workplace Workshops


I am proud to announce that during Menopause Awareness Month, I will be leading a series of live online Menopause in the Workplace workshops for various corporate clients.


Following the success of my corporate wellbeing workshops earlier this year, I have been invited by The Wellbeing Project to deliver 6 workshops to companies who want to take care of their staff and help develop Menopause Policies.


1 in 10 women in the UK say they left their jobs due to menopause symptoms, so it is vital that employers take care of these skilled and experienced staff by offering education so that all employees feel valued. These workshops run with company HR departments also help break the talking taboo around the menopause, encourage conversation and help line managers to take appropriate steps to support their staff.


Menopause Awareness Workshops can be run throughout the year as part of an HR programme. If you would like to book one of these workplace workshops direct with me, please email Petra@menopause-yoga.com or tel: 07590831966.


You can also book a workshop with The Wellbeing Project.



Thank you for supporting my work so that I can support women through their menopause and help change attitudes and resources available for women.
