Masterclass: Ayurveda for Women's Health
Ayurveda recognises that we are unique and powerful individuals and that our body responds to events such as PMS and menopause in different ways.
This workshop will explore practical ways to help you recognise your symptoms in order to create a health plan that includes nutrition, movement and meditation, nature, supportive supplements and herbs and lifestyle tips.
The 3 main Ayurvedic constitutional types highlight the different symptoms you may feel if there is an imbalance being experienced.
PMS
- Are you suffering from bloating, clicking joints, pain, overwhelm and higher sensitivity to stress before your cycle? These are vata symptoms.
- Are you suffering from excess heat, pain, anger and frustration as a build up to your cycle? These are more pitta symptoms.
- Are you suffering from heaviness, depression, swelling of breasts and weight gain? These are more kapha symptoms.
Menopause
Similarly, at the menopause phase, these symptoms can present themselves in a similar fashion as we are more likely to follow a pattern based on the dominant dosha that has the greatest tendency to move out of balance for us as individuals.
The good news is that once you recognise your dominant dosha type, you can put things in place to create a balance that works for your unique body type. And as a result, ease the symptoms we mention above.
See you there!

As a qualified Dru Yoga teacher, I thought I had a good understanding of asana and the koshas - which of course I did, but the APD course has taken that level of understanding and more importantly my personal experience of my yoga practice to a different level.
The course took me on a journey through the koshas in a way that not only increased my awareness of how I experience asana but also how to use asana to reshape my experience. With the support and guidance of the tutors, I was able to revisit the asana I previously avoided which has contributed to my body being stronger and more flexible than at any time since my twenties - and I now love to practise those asanas.
Emotionally, it has helped me process difficult emotions such as grief and shown the way to change self-limiting beliefs. For me, the real gift of the course was the tutorials which became the foundation for building a supportive sangha of wonderful yogis which continues to exist. It was during these sessions of deep personal sharing that our fantastic tutors were able to share further their incredible wisdom and answer the many questions that inevitably spring forth in any process of swadhyaya - I highly recommend this course!
The course has been so inspiring to me as an individual who was simply interested in yoga at the beginning. I have learned so much from the tutors and my peers and hope to share my learnings with lots of other people in my classes. The depth of the experience has been immense and has developed my passion for yoga philosophy and has made me want to learn so much more - consequently have signed up for my next course already.
You feel nurtured and supported all the way. Each module is a solid foundation from which to launch into the next.
