Calming Yoga for Menopause Workshop with Holly

Holly is running a calming yoga workshop for menopause at the Yorkshire Centre for Wellbeing on Friday 30 October, from 7:15pm to 8:30pm. It's framed as a celebration of the end of Menopause Awareness Month, and it's open to women going through perimenopause, menopause or postmenopause. You don't need any previous yoga experience to join in, and beginners are welcome, so you can turn up even if you've never stepped foot on a mat before.

The session brings together gentle yoga movements, breathing, and relaxation, alongside some simple, evidence-informed education. The focus is on managing the symptoms that tend to crop up during this time: changes in sleep, mood and energy, as well as hot flushes, anxiety, brain fog and those general aches and pains that can settle in. The idea is to leave feeling calmer, stronger and more comfortable, with a few practical ways to support your body and mind and a simple wellbeing toolkit to take home and use on your own.

Holly has been practising yoga for nearly twenty years and teaching for the last fifteen. Over that time, her approach has shifted from high-energy, challenging poses towards releasing tension, building strength sensibly and managing the demands of modern life. That shift is exactly what this workshop is built around—gentle movement rather than pushing yourself.

It runs from 7:15pm to 8:30pm on Friday 30 October at the Yorkshire Centre for Wellbeing, 40 Duchy Rd, Harrogate HG1 2ER, and costs £20.
