with Judy Hirsh Sampath

Do you get hot under the collar and other places thinking about hot flushes, not sure if they're flushes or flashes, receive regular visiting night sweats that wake you up, feels impossible to get a good night's sleep and now you're overtired, overwhelmed and oversensitive? Welcome to the fire, feel the burn! 

A refreshing dip in a cooling space to share perspectives, find profound insights and deeper learning on the applications of yoga and philosophy practices for those suffering from hot flushes and sleep deprivation - for self care and the care of others 1-2-1 or in small groups This workshop is quality assured and approved by IAYT (Intl Assoc of Yoga Therapists) for yoga therapists, and quality-assured CPD Day (BWY) for yoga practitioners and teachers.

We will engage the body, mind and soul in enquiry, using movement, mindfulness and meditation practice a cooling restorative practice, devise personal affirmation, mantras to take home, and take away practices to navigate this major life transition.

Aimed at facilitators who are working with students and clients suffering from menoapausal hot flushes, are troubled by the ageing process, and the over-tired, fatigued, exhausted, and confused. With some studying and guided snoozing practices to replay during hte night, we explore how to change your relationship with menopause and insomnia, and offer creative practices for when sleep is elusive.

We will cover a little science, a blast of philosophy and enlightening psychology of a disturbed mind.
