ARE MOST OF YOUR MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS INFLAMMATORY IN ESSENCE?

Inflammation is often greater in Menopause as estrogen and progesterone act as a protective mechanism, supporting immune health and there is naturally less production of these hormones at this stage of life.

Would you like a simple way to reduce the inflammation in your body?

You can reduce the effects of:
- muscle aches and pains
- joint stiffness
- allergies
- puffiness
- brain fog
- itchy skin
- anxiousness
- insomnia

The answer is simple and at your own fingertips!

EFT Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) reduces the stress response in your body, therefore regulating your cortisol and adrenaline production, and the knock on inflammatory effects.
EFT REDUCES CORTISOL BY 43% IN CLINICAL TRIALS

Alongside lifestyle choices around diet and sleep you can feel better with EFT in Peri/Menopause

❤️YOUR YOGA PRACTICE ❤️

Having a difficult asana that you trying to do or something to work on over a longer time keeps you engaged in your body and also engaged in the commitment of your yoga practice or sadhana.

The asana you are working on may not look like mine, it may be a side plank or spending 5 extra breaths on down dog, or softening into child pose with an inward focus on breath.
We will start where you are at and work out a process or plan together.

If you’d like a bespoke yoga practice for your home practice to-
🔺increase flexibility and mobility
🔺increase strength and stamina
🔺increase heart health
🔺better mental and emotional well being

Get in touch to arrange a session. I’ll send you some questions so I can create a personal practice that is perfect for you, what you need and how you want to be and feel.

INSIDE, OUTSIDE AND BETWEEN

In each moment we are continually scanning, interpreting at a fast pace through our nervous system and other systems in our body. This feedback gives us an idea of how we are.

INSIDE - INTEROCEPTION
Is a sense that helps us understand and feel what’s going on inside ourselves.
So cues of hunger, temperature, sensations, movements of energy within, feeling emotions.
This sense helps with self regulation as we become more aware of, can adapt to, and find solutions for changes within our body.

OUTSIDE- PROPRIOCEPTION
Is the sense that helps us to be aware of the location, movement and action parts of our body. Our perception of how and where we are in space.
This information is made available to us from the brain, vestibular organs (inner ear), eyes and stretch receptors in skin, muscles and joints.
This sense helps us to understand personal space, stops us bumping into things, helps us cope with excessive sensory stimulus in our surroundings.

BETWEEN - CO REGULATION
Is a sense that helps us feel safe and social with others.
We continually interact with others, through gesture, eye contact, physical contact, words, energetically. This information is feeding back to us and let’s us know if we are safe or not with another. We tend to harmonize with others, co regulate, become more like them to have a sense of belonging.

These 3 pathways of interpretation help us to understand what and why we are feeling and thinking the way we are. When we understand which pathway is not feeling good to us at a particular moment we can change this.
Eg, I’m uncomfortable with my leg crossed,
my eyes prefer dimmed lights at night,
another’s high pitched voice makes me nervous.

❤️GROUP YOGA - practices all 3 of these pathways of awareness so we can adapt, be healthier, happier, and in harmony with others.

❤️EFT - Tapping is another method where we can become more aware of our inner world and our relationships with others and how this might affect us so we can adjust our interactions.

❤️MASSAGE- helps us to feel what is happening inside ourselves through the pressure of touch. Great for safe co regulation.

SUMMER SOLSTICE BLESSINGS - Grianstad na tSamhraidh
It’s so beneficial to take a pause to honour the passing of time, to reflect and to be filled up by the moment we are in presently.
A walk, sunrise, breakfast on the beach, solitude, peace, beauty - a perfect moment in time 🌀
