Healthy Thoughts, Healthier Body-Registered Series
For the month of February, I’m changing things up a little..
If we are catching ourselves having “unhelpful” thoughts, we might be creating dis-ease in our bodies in the form of aches and pains, among other things. On top of it all, one of the “not-so pleasant” symptoms women can experience during the perimenopause and menopause transition is increased feelings of anxiety. It is a scientific fact that these mood changes can be directly linked to drops in hormones as our bodies age. It can be extremely frustrating because it’s not the first thing we might think of as the cause of our discomfort. We start to wonder why, all of a sudden, we are feeling more anxious than usual, even though our real-life stressors haven’t changed enough to justify how we feel. I’ve experienced this firsthand. Luckily, I’ve received tremendous support from my family physician and have also found it helpful to apply strategies recommended by Lee Harris and Dr. Joe Dispenza.
For the hour and 25 minutes we are together, we will engage in stress-relief movement through a variety of asanas and also work towards creating healthier thought habits through various methods. I’m not promising to change your life, but I am promising to walk beside you as we take the first steps towards welcoming a healthier version of ourselves.
Thursdays in February ( 5th, (no class on the 12th), 19th, 26th) from 6:45 PM to 8 PM. This is a series that builds on itself, so it is best to register only if you can make all 3 classes.
