Embodied Perimenopause: A Restorative and Empowering Workshop with Dr Tessa Venuti Sanderson and Ann-Marie James MA
Saturday 21 November 1pm to 5:30pm
Whether perimenopause is on your horizon, you’re deep in it, or you’re navigating postmenopause, this workshop brings together movement, breath, neuroscience and lived experience to help you feel more informed, more resourced and less alone.
Led by Ann-Marie James MA, BACP senior accredited psychotherapist and certified breathing coach, and Tessa Venuti Sanderson PhD, experienced yoga teacher, author, and women’s health specialist, this afternoon offers a warm, grounded space to explore what’s happening in your body and mind. We will explore stress, nervous system health, and powerful practices that you can use immediately to boost energy and create stability during the roller coaster of perimenopause.
The afternoon includes:
- Yoga to support lifting of energy, joint health, and emotional resilience
- A session on navigating stress during peri and postmenopause
- Group sharing for support and reflection
- How to use breathwork effectively and powerfully during peri and postmenopause
- Yoga nidra for sleep replenishment
- Homemade treats and a goodie bag to take away
- Time for Q&A
No yoga experience is needed. Come as you are.
