COURSE DESCRIPTION
DAY 1
Back to Basics: The Female Energy Cycle
Women have a unique body that supports life and creativity. In this session, we will go back to gaining a basic understanding of our bodies and our energy as we cycle through the phases of the month. We will learn how to live in harmony with this flow based on the perspectives of Traditional Chinese Medicine, hormonal health, and psycho-emotional well-being.
Morning practice: Asana exploration of the woman’s pelvis and her contents
Flow Busters: Disturbances in your flow and how to curb them
The menstrual cycle is a reflective phenomenon. How we flow through our lives is mirrored by our monthly flow. If you are experiencing period pains, irregularities in flow, monthly fatigue, low sex drive, extreme mood swings and cravings, infertility, and menopause-related symptoms, your body is giving you information about what is disturbing your flow. Discover these major disturbances, their effects on the different phases of our cycle, and create a Personal Period Plan to get you back in your flow, both in life and in your cycle.
Afternoon practice: Meridian exercises and asanas to facilitate energy flow
DAY 2
An Integrative Life Force Approach to Women’s Nutrition
Learning to live and eat according to our cycles is the foundation of our life force energy that allows us to express our Selves fully, fiercely, unapologetically. An Integrative Life Force Approach to Nutrition requires that we take a closer look at what truly nourishes us in our lives. In this session, we will look at the difference between primary and secondary food and what we can do to boost both while taking into consideration the different nutritional needs depending on where we are in our monthly cycle. Ignoring these needs leads to a less than optimal wellbeing and hormonal imbalances manifesting in painful periods, bloating, unregulated sugar and adrenaline, extreme mood swings, unmanaged weight and metabolism, and even more severe imbalances such as PCOS.
Morning practice: Asanas to boost digestion
The Feminine Power of Receptivity
Rising expectations from modern women have not caused a shift in the role of women. Instead, these have caused an increase in the demands from women – as warriors in the workplace while remaining the primary homemaker and caregiver. As the center of the family and the community, women end up continuously giving without replenishing in order to fulfill expanding expectations. In this session, we will explore Receptivity, an important characteristic of the feminine aspect, and go into inquiry about what it feels like to receive and be received and to create from this receptive space, first in the body and in our daily lives.
Afternoon practice: Embodiment exploration focused on the back body and receptivity
