Livestream Workshop for Yoga Teachers

Adaptive practices for menstruation and pregnancy.

How should a typical yoga practice be modified for pregnancy and period time? Dr. Geeta Iyengar was a pioneer for women in yoga, and developed an in-depth approach for how to practice yoga in a way that supports, regulates, heals, and creates ease. We will explore her approach for practicing asanas to help common period related issues such as cramping, headaches, irregularity, emotional instability and heavy flow, and we'll explore a framework for yoga during pregnancy. This precious knowledge is empowering and important for yoga teachers. If you have a period, it can help you turn your time of the month into a special time of soothing relaxation, replenishing rest, and self care. This deeply nurturing, relaxing sequence is a wonderful way to support yourself, and avoid future reproductive system problems. For all genders, non-binary framework.
