If you are curious about learning Hormone Yoga and would like to chat before you register, you can book a 15 min complimentary call with me.
I highly suggest checking out the FAQ's of HY before we meet as it may spark some questions and there is a short list of contraindications which is very important to note.
I will call you at your scheduled time.
Be well,
Bridgette

If you'd like a little reset to refine your focus and direct your energy into where you most desire it to be, join me for a condensed version of our New Year's Day Sankalpa Practice.
A Sankalpa is the heart felt intention we plant in order to stay connected to our deepest desires, our truth, our purpose. It isn't about the goal we are trying to accomplish, but the compass that helps us stay our course. It keeps us true to who we really are. This means that the end result could look different than how we imagined it, if we truly follow that inner compass.
We will meet online from 7-8:30pm MST on Sunday Sept. 14th.
I'll start with a chat about Sankalpa and how you can work with it. We will then we will do a practice that combines elements of nidra and meditation in a way that will help guide you inward to find the seed you would like to plant.
The replay will be available for 1 week to all who register.
This workshop is $20, however, I am leaving an option for you to pay what you can, if you can. I don't want cost to get in the way of anyone coming who wants to be there. I am fine if you register with no payment:)

Are you struggling with symptoms from hormonal imbalance?
There are many ways to reduce or eliminate many of them through lifestyle changes. We need something different in this stage to feel like ourselves again and I have a specialized form of yoga to help support that journey.
Hormone Yoga, HY, is an effective and efficient practice to get you on track. It is a dynamic 30 min set sequence of yoga postures and breathing techniques that are adapted to stimulate the ovaries, thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands through physical and subtle body practices.
Most women start noticing a difference within the first weeks of practice and continue to feel better with consistent practice. Changes often continues to unfold over the first 6 months. It is suitable for most women and requires no previous yoga experience.
HY is suitable for most women over 35, though it can help women of any age dealing with symptoms.
Benefits: These common symptoms are reduced or eliminated
Hot Flashes
Symptoms of PCOS
Symptoms of PMS
Hypothyroidism
Low Sex Drive
Energy Levels/Fatigue
Anxiety
Sleep
Rage
HY is also great for postpartum moms (6 months) for milk production and can even help you get pregnant, if you are having troubles conceiving.
Hormone Yoga Workshop
November 23rd
12:30-5:30pm
Social Ground Cafe in Oakridge
This workshop takes about 5 hours, but I give us a grace period after, if needed, for questions and review.
Because you will have just taken in a lot of information, you will get a 1 month pass in my HY Membership at no cost.
The membership has guided recordings of the sequence at varying paces and cues, stress reducing videos and recordings of my Aging with Grace Classes, which include yoga for mobility and face yoga.
Below are the contraindications, feel free to reach out with any questions.
CONTRAINDICATIONS For HY
Contraindications: You can not practice with these.
- If you have ever had a hormone dependant breast cancer (and other hormone dependent cancers)
- If you have glaucoma or a detached retina
- If you've had appendicitis without the appendix being removed
- Advanced Endometriosis- if advanced, you cannot practice. Medical permission needed if it isn’t advanced. Contact me before you register to determine if HY is right for you.
- Fibroids/Myomas over 3cm tend to grow bigger, so you cannot practice HY with them.
However, small fibroids, under 3cm tend to get smaller, so you will need to keep an eye on them and may need to modify the practice. - Serious Osteoporosis, contact me before you register to determine if HY is right for you.
- You cannot practice while you are pregnant.
You can practice with doctor's permission to proceed with regular exercise and core work. - Diastasis Recti- You can't practice with it, but once it is healed you can.
- Recent Eye Surgery (concern is increased ocular pressure, we invert and we retain breath), so you must be fully healed and have permission to invert and retain breath.
Conditions that require modifications or possibly doctor's permission: Be sure to let me know if you have any of the following so that we can determine if this practice is appropriate for you.
- Heart Conditions
- Hypertension
- Undiagnosed Abdominal Pain
- Severe Psychiatric Problems
- Labyrinthitis or Vertigo (depending on severity, HY may be ok)
- After any surgery, medical permission is needed.
Let us help you unwind. Come rest in the sound of Gareth on bass clarinet or another instrument he feels called to use...flutes, sax or his voice and I will be chanting and creating sound in other ways to shift our attention, our vibration and energy to call in and help us align with certain intentions.
I will have a mat and restorative posture set up for you when you arrive. I have more blankets than you can imagine, sand bags and eye pillows. All you need is some water and whatever else you think could make you more comfortable, but I likely have it...layers are always a good idea.
We will start with a few gentle moves to release some tension before settling in. Some may choose to sit in meditation, then move into everyone's favourite, goddess/supta baddha konasana/heart bed/yogi lazy boy or perhaps you'll start there. If that doesn't suit you., there are many other options.
Once you are settled, we will spend a few minutes working with the breath, and perhaps some visualization, to help settle you in a bit more before we begin to build the sound bath.
Each bath will run about a 25-30 minutes followed by a few minutes of silence and then we will cycle through once more before we ground and head home for a peaceful night's sleep.
Please note that I have a cat and she may visit us.
