I had an hour-long conversation with Tarisha Tourok relationship and sexual therapist from NZ about

The Loss of Libido in Perimenopause phenomenon

It's a fascinating topic so prevalent among perimenopausal and menopausal women and so neglected in medical consultations space.

I’m super excited to share the stage with my friend Valli at this yoga event in Inverlock in May: “Ancient wisdom meets modern science”, where we talk about the scientific explanation of slow
poses- asanas, vagus nerve, somatic awareness of interoception and proprioception, all with lots of movement and fun, in a plain language, with lots of dance and laughter. 💃

Science does not need to be boring!
💃💃💃

Slow body movement with mindful
attention to the breath is an essential aspect of physical exercise for women in and when our accumulative stress is not even detected by our brain as stress and is perceived as everyday life.

Come along to Inverlock to do yoga and dance with us.💃💃
Let’s have fun while we share knowledge and science💃
