“Breath is the vehicle of consciousness and so, by its slow measured observation and distribution, we learn to tug our attention away from external desires toward a judicious, intelligent awareness.” ― B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life
Women’s Health WORKSHOP SERIES
SATURDAY 31 JANUARY, 2-5PM
Jenny-May While
Join us for second of three special workshop series on Women’s Health
In her seminal work ‘Yoga: A Gem for Women’, Geeta Iyengar says ‘Woman has to pay a high price physically and physiologically for her role of mother, [partner], sister, friend. Stabilisation of the physical and mental states is achieved by āsana and prānāyāma. Her salvation lies in practising them’.
Working within Geeta Iyengar’s legacy and lineage, we’ll be exploring yoga in relation to 3 important stages of a woman’s life:
Menstruation
Peri-menopause
Menopause
Workshop 2: Peri-Menopause
• £30 per workshop (10% discount for concessions)
• Available in-studio and online
• Suitable for everyone with around 6 months experience in Iyengar yoga classes.
