Ayurveda for a Healthy and Balanced Menopause
Jun 3, 2023 - Jun 3, 2023

Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that was developed in India over 5000 years ago. Ayurveda uses personal knowledge, herbs, meditation, yoga and other lifestyle choices to bring a person’s body into balance so that they can feel healthy and happy throughout life. It encourages tuning in, listening to your body and then caring for yourself rather than taking medication as a first step. Ayurvedic principles have helped many women navigate menopause and manage symptoms and they move through this phase of life. Ayurveda gives you a personalized and practical way of looking at how you’re experiencing menopause.

One of the key principles of Ayurveda is the way it divides people into three types of energies or ‘doshas’. Each dosha describes your mind/body constitution, although you can be a combination of two. This is particularly relevant at midlife because each dosha is likely to have different menopause symptoms, and you might experience a range across all the doshas. Once you know which dosha (or combination) you are, you can manage your symptoms by finding balance through diet, herb, and lifestyle change.

Join us to explore how Ayurvedic medicine can help balance your hormones and alleviate common symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, indigestion, and fatigue, while minimizing bone loss.

This workshop will explain how Ayurveda and yoga therapy, hand in hand, guide you through this important transition in your life.
