Yoga for Women (the 40s and Beyond)
3 BCRPA CEC
Women go through many changes from our 40s and beyond. Perimenopause can begin as early as 40 and with it comes hormone fluxuations that can cause emotional swings, sleep disruptions, weight gain, brain fog and compounded stress. These conditions get worse as we go through menopause and beyond, we begin to lose bone density and muscle mass, resulting in less strength and tone including the muscles of the pelvic floor, which can lead to incontinence and musculoskeletal syndrome associated with Estrogen depletion. In this workshop you will learn how to address these conditions through: using body weight and external resistance for improved bone density and muscle mass, strengthening the core and pelvic floor, balance training for fall prevention and yoga breathing to reduce stress.
Explore the integration between the breath and the pelvic floor. The Body, Mind and Breath connection is the key to strengthening the deep core muscles in a functional way. From the foundation of mountain pose to more dynamic postures, understanding this connection will benefit your students both on and off the mat. You will learn asanas and sequenced flows to add into your current classes or to offer a specialized core class.

Using a chair as a prop helps yoga to be accessible to those that have a hard time getting up and down on the floor and have a fear of falling without support. The benefits of chair yoga: improved balance & coordination, increased strength, endurance, and flexibility, better sleep, stress reduction and a greater sense of self- confidence. Chair Yoga is a 4-hour workshop that will teach instructors how to lead a class, that is suited for older adults, adult beginners and anyone that needs external support.
