#16 Menopause Yoga with Petra Coveney

This week I chat to Petra Coveney, the founder of Menopause Yoga - the UK's first specialist style of yoga to support women going through menopause.After feeling let down by the support offered to her during her menopause experience, Petra felt called to find a way not only to manage her own menopause but to help others through theirs too.Petra became a member of the British Menopause Society, a senior yoga teacher and trainer and developed Menopause Yoga to meet the physical and emotional needs of women going through menopause.Due to the demand from women and yoga teachers, she then launched the world's first Menopause Yoga Teacher Training Course at Dr Louis Newson's Menopause Centre.  The course is now fully accredited by the UK's main governing bodies the British Wheel of Yoga and Yoga Alliance Professionals and is taught all over the world.In this episode we discuss: Petra's own menopause journeyWhat inspired her to develop Menopause YogaCombining western medical science with eastern Indian Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese MedicineHow yoga, breathwork and meditation can support women to transition positively through menopauseWhat you can expect from a Menopause Yoga sessionHow to reduce stress levels and change your perception of menopauseWhy it's important to educate women about the menopause, to feel empowered and embrace post menopausehttps://www.menopause-yoga.com/https://www.instagram.com/menopause_yoga/https://www.instagram.com/petracoveney_life/You can contact me https://www.pollywarren.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  [email protected]://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/
