Yoga for Menopause with Kristina Mose-Libon. This
in-person yoga class held outdoors on the deck at
River Valley Co-op's Northampton store (330 N King Street, Northampton) on
Saturday, June 17th from 9:30-10:30 AM.
This hour-long yoga practice is appropriate at any stage of your menopause journey and with any level of previous movement experience and ability. We will explore the powerful tools that yoga can offer as our body begins, enters, and completes its menopausal transitions. Through a gentle vinyasa flow practice, we will touch upon the importance of playing and pleasure. We will experience using our own bodies to strengthen and increase mobility in our muscles and joints which then supports our bone density. Our practice will include self-relaxation exercises and breathing techniques which emphasize the importance of developing a nurturing relationship with our own bodies. We will finish our practice with a few restorative poses and some moments of deep rest.
Yoga can be a powerful tool to help alleviate anxiety, and it can provide a way to keep our bodies mobile as we age. Practicing yoga reminds us that self-care is not a luxury, and there are great benefits to giving ourselves some time away from the stressful and/or demanding parts of life. With breath, movement, and then stillness, we can learn to listen and respond to what our bodies have to say so we can be more intuitive to our physical, mental, and emotional needs. There are real quantifiable results when we integrate yoga into our lives!
