Is it tiredness or something you can no longer carry? Perhaps nothing is wrong. Yet, something has shifted, and a change in tolerance is asking for a different way forward.This is not a decline, but a threshold.
Around menopause, we enter what the Vedic tradition calls Vanaprastha, the forest-dweller stage of life, a gradual turning inward. Just as late summer gives way to autumn, this transition unfolds slowly. Energy and attention steadily withdraw from what is no longer aligned. Resisting this natural process can lead to strain - physical, mental, and at times an inner crisis.
What happens when we choose to adjust, rather than endure?
This course offers a structured enquiry into this threshold. Across the sessions, we will work with the body, the mind, and the questions that arise at this stage - through reflection, simple practices, and exchange, with moments of embodied and meditative work as appropriate. It supports a clearer understanding of what is changing, while acknowledging what is ending and making space for what is to come.
Over three weeks Jite will guide this process through practices drawn from Ayurveda and contemplative traditions, with an emphasis on learning to listen closely and developing discernment.
Clarity at this stage does not come from more information, but from tuning into what resonates and learning to interpret one’s own experience with care and attention.
Inner Forest is for women who recognise this threshold and are willing to engage in honest enquiry.
Inner Forest with Jite goes from 19th of May - 2nd of June on Tuesdays at 17:00-18:30 and costs only 18.900 kr. Further information: yogashala.is/inner-forest
