About this Event
Menopause is a major life transition, not just hormonal, but physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. At Breathe.Move.Heal CIC, we offer supportive menopause yoga and wellbeing practices to help women navigate this phase with greater ease, empowerment, and self-understanding.
Anxiety & Overwhelm in Menopause
Feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, emotional or simply unlike yourself during menopause? You are not alone.
Anxiety and overwhelm can be some of the most challenging and least understood experiences of perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal changes can affect the way we respond to stress, our mood, sleep, concentration and emotional wellbeing.
This practical and informative workshop will help you understand why anxiety and overwhelm can increase during menopause and what you can do to support yourself.
We will also look at menopause more broadly, exploring the different stages of the menopause transition, common physical and emotional symptoms, and a holistic approach to supporting your wellbeing through this stage of life.
During the workshop we will explore:
- The stages of perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause
- Common physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms
- Why anxiety and feelings of overwhelm may increase during menopause
- Hormonal changes and their relationship with mood, sleep and stress
- Understanding your nervous system and stress response
- Simple breathing techniques for calming and regulating the nervous system
- Practical techniques inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
- Holistic approaches to supporting yourself during menopause
- Journaling and self-reflection
- Lifestyle, nutrition and everyday self-care strategies
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and learn practical techniques that you can continue using at home.
Handouts and useful menopause resources will be provided, and light refreshments will be available.
This workshop is open to women who are experiencing perimenopause or menopause, as well as those who simply want to understand and prepare for this stage of life.
No previous knowledge or experience is required.
This workshop is delivered by Breathe.Move.Heal CIC and funded by Poplar Harca, Feldy Community Center.
