YOGA and the 36 Menopause Symptoms 

A uniquely curated one-of-a-kind 50 hour Menopause Teachers' Training Course, including:
Mat, Chair, Wall & Partner Yoga
Plus a One-On-One Mentoring Session

My vision held for this course is to offer an intimate and safely-held space in which women can find support, acknowledgement and an honouring of their own menopause journey whilst helping others on their paths. A strong sense of community is a precious gift to offer each other during this time of change.

 

I used to think the menopause was simply the time ‘when your period stopped’ and that was that! When my menopause journey began, I quickly realised that it is SO, SO, MUCH MORE than that!

I was oblivious on how the menopause impacts not only on the physical and psychological body, but on one’s spirituality too. How certain symptoms show-up as a reflection of trauma that one has experienced during earlier years of life. I never gave it much thought, as despite being the fifth daughter in my family, it was not a topic of conversation we had ever had or in fact, with my circle of friends, until I started experiencing the symptoms. I had very little knowledge about ALL the different stages of a Woman’s Life. Menopause especially, is such a taboo subject in most societies - always shush-shushed. But it seemed to me that so many women I knew, beyond my circle of friends, were trying to get through their menopause alone and silently enduring the very many challenging issues it presented to their health and mental well-being.

After years of extensive research I decided to bring my expertise as a professional yoga and spiritual teacher and everything I had learnt about the menopause together and I wrote the ‘Yoga and the 36 Menopause Symptoms’ Teachers’ Training Manual and my course was born!

​

The course is designed to encourage YOU to be brave and embark on joining the conversation to take control of your body and mind during the vital changes you undergo during menopause. Take the courage to challenge the stigma and change the narrative by embracing, educating and empowering yourself to support your students on this sacredly natural and important phase of a woman’s life.

As you begin to learn about and explore the many symptoms, we will collectively unpack and understand each one at a time. Drawing upon my extensive knowledge about yoga and spiritual practice I will be able to support and reassure you with practical and effective strategies that soften their impact and allow the menopause to become a deeper, spiritual and more peaceful journey rather than something to be silently endured. Let me guide you as I share my wisdom and knowledge.

Empowering Our Students

​

Our menopause journey, hormones fluctuate, leading to varying symptoms. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, whether it's medication, diet, or yoga. That's why we offer a unique blend of Menopause Chair Yoga, Wall Yoga, Partner Yoga alongside our traditional Menopause Mat Yoga approach. At Triple Goddess  Yoga, our goal is to provide our graduates with a wide and diverse range of yoga practices, ensuring they can effectively meet the unique needs of menopausal women in their classes.

One-On-One Mentoring

​

As an exclusive incentive for our graduates, included in your course, you'll receive a  30-minute One-On-One Mentoring session via Zoom. During this personalised chat, you can delve into any subject covered in our course or gain insights on transitioning into the menopause teaching field. SueYen will provide you with direct guidance on navigating your new qualification and offer her unwavering support to assist you in every possible way. Women Supporting Women. 

Menopause Chair Yoga

​

An effectively modified and adapted practice that menopausal women can engage and participate in even on ‘off’ days to get active and reap the same benefits and rewards as a traditional mat practice -

all possible while using the ultimate prop: a CHAIR!

‘Menopause Chair Yoga includes EVERYONE, EVERYDAY’

As the menopause symptoms take a firm grip on the body, there will be days when you and your yoga students don't feel inspired to roll out the mat, which can result in NO exercise at all. But do not despair! That’s where the chair comes in… Take a Seat! Sit back… you may be surprised to learn and experience how effective sitting on your behind can be!

Menopause Chair Yoga can be a game-changer! With this practice we can engage in yoga without putting stress on our joints from the repetitive up-and-down of a traditional mat yoga class. Menopause Chair Yoga provides a fantastic opportunity to you and your students to maintain a daily exercise regime, whether you’re feeling tired, dealing with injuries, short on time (such as with office chair yoga), or travelling!

 

Here at Triple Goddess Yoga, our love for Menopause Chair Yoga runs deep. We have developed Chair Yoga in such an effective way that it has become more than just a fallback option for days when we're too tired to roll out our mats (although that can still be the case some days!). It has evolved into a conscious choice based on how we're feeling. We now have the option to choose between a traditional mat yoga practice or a specialised Menopause Chair Yoga class, as they both offer unique experiences and benefits to help with menopause symptoms.

 

Similar to the various styles of asana practices such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative Yoga, Menopause Chair Yoga offers us the opportunity to approach it with a similar mindset. We have the freedom to choose between a gentle and gradual stretching session to promote movement in the body or a dynamic and deeply stretching flow, allowing us to customise our teaching for our students according to their symptoms, moods and energy levels.

YOGA and the 36 Menopause Symptoms Yoga is a FRESH
and enjoyable approach to support daily exercising as a lifestyle hack!

Our curated course also includes: Wall Yoga...

Wall Yoga accounts for approximately 10% of the course content, making it an integral part of our training. It is an under used yet fantastic yoga prop that we have developed into a deep-stretch companion. During our live studio days for teacher training, we will fully experience the practice of using the Wall. The Wall serves as a personal assistant in each pose, allowing us to go deeper and deeper into our practice.

 

Utilising the Wall in our practice is comparable to having individual support for each pose, enabling us to achieve a greater depth. This highly effective prop encourages deep stretching of the fascia and promotes the release of tight, impacted muscles. Wall Yoga is taught in a slow-paced Yin-Restorative style, specifically tailored for Menopause Yoga, ensuring a soothing and rejuvenating experience.

And then we have… Partner Yoga

Partner Yoga, often considered the world's finest yoga prop! Partner Yoga holds a significant place in our course content, accounting for approximately 10%. It offers a unique opportunity to nourish the body and cultivate a deep soul connection. The power of being truly ‘seen’ is infused back into our soul and spirit, providing support for symptoms such as loss of confidence, loss of libido, and depression. (It’s important to note that all Partner Yoga practices are PG-rated, with no nudity or sexual contact involved!).

 

Partner Yoga is about empowerment, embracing the essence of ‘self’ and being seen and valued just as you are. This practice fosters a sense of connection and trust between partners, enhancing overall well-being and improving self esteem. The beauty of Partner Yoga lies in its transferability from teacher to partner, allowing students to incorporate these practices into their home routine. These fun and effective partner exercises also serve as a solid foundation for one-on-one teaching and can be a great theme for menopause-focused workshops and classes.

Join us for this UNIQUE teachers' training course to give you and your students a
FRESH and different way of managing those pesky menopause symptoms!
