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

Symptoms of PMS

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
12:30-6 pm
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.
