Yup...I get it!! 4 planets in retrograde this week, including Mercury 🫣🫣, the weather has been a bit wild, and there's a call to return to the earth. To rest. To slow down.

And yet, at this time of year we are pulled in so many directions. We might have lots of preparation and social commitments coming up for the festive season.

So, here's your reminder that it's ok to say no to things that drain you and your energy. And say yes to those that fill your cup instead 😘

What are you saying yes to this weekend?

With love,
Kate xx ✨️

To those of you who have felt that life has been a bit heavy recently.

Maybe you've got extra to juggle, maybe life's thrown a curveball your way, maybe you're dealing with injury or illness...

I've had the worst bout of IBS for, like, EVER! It's literally pulled the rug out from underneath me. I've had to take so much more rest than I'm used to (I'm not a good patient 😆)

But it's ok...this will pass.

I promise you that it will pass.

With love 💜

Hello!

As there have been a few new followers to Yoga Pommier recently, I wanted to wish you all a very warm welcome, and thank you for your interest in me and my yoga offerings.

A little bit about me...

I'm Kate, originally from Bristol in the UK, we have chosen Bellac in France as our home, moving here in 2023.

I found Yoga...or did Yoga find me?? (A question for another day...) over 25 years ago. I was in my early twenties and struggling with the weight of grief after my partner passed suddenly from a massive stroke. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my grief counsellor from Cruise Bereavement Care who suggested finding a new hobby or activity. I'll never forget my first class; finding a space where I found that I could finally take a full breath again, I hadn't realised how much weight I was carrying on my chest and lungs. It took a while, but by continuing to go to classes and remembering to breathe and be patient with myself off the mat, I was able to start to manage my grief in a way that was nurturing. It helped me to be ok sitting with the difficult emotions, knowing that they'll pass.

Yoga has been a part of my life ever since. Its helped me to navigate two pregnancies and births (one pregnancy was during yoga teacher training). And now it is helping me navigate another transition - perimenopause - with softness, kindness and empowerment.

I love nature and moon cycles...most of my classes are inspired by these themes. And I love nothing more than a good walk (or rando as it's known here) with my boys. Although the teenage one would probably prefer to be left alone on his phone🙄, thankfully our younger one is more than happy to find a good stick and face his imaginary Star Wars enemies in the countryside😆

I like to swear . It's a wonderful way to release tension. Although I try my very best not to swear while I teach😁

And I love adventure and travel. Although we've had quite a lot of that moving to a new country, so I'm trying my best right now to keep our adventuring close to home.

So, welcome beautiful souls ✨ tell me a little bit about yourself 🥰

With love,
Kate ✨

🤩Perimenopause Pose of the Week🤩

It's the last Perimenopause Pose of the Week, so this week you are getting two of them - you're welcome!😘

Here are two of my favourite poses for slowing down and rest:
🧘Supta Baddha Konasana or Reclined Butterfly,
🧘Restorative Yoga version of Deer pose, from yin yoga

I can't highlight the value of rest enough when it comes to perimenopause. I know it sounds counter-productive to stop and rest when you are juggling a million jobs, but trust me - it works!

Here's the thing, if you keep pushing through, you will burnout. There are higher levels of cortisol in the body due to oestrogen levels declining, oestrogen is responsible for maintaining our cortisol levels. You may feel irritable, snappy, frustrated and angry throughout the month, not just linked to your variable monthly cycle.

With these poses, the aim is to soften and yield to gravity. Use props to get comfy in the pose (bolsters, blankets, bricks, eye pillows), close your eyes and focus on your breath. Drop into your body and hold for 3-5 minutes.

By including more gentle, yin and restorative poses you will benefit from:
✅ reduced stress
✅ lowers blood pressure
✅ increases energy
✅ improves sleep
✅ resets the nervous system
✅ balances hormones

Comment 👇"YES" if you're adding more restorative and yin poses to your perimenopause yoga routine! I'd love to hear your favourites😊

I wish more women knew that perimenopause doesn’t need to mean suffering…

You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart before you start taking care of yourself.

You don’t have to push through the fatigue, ignore the mood swings, or pretend your body isn’t changing.

And you don’t have to work it all out alone…

Perimenopause is a major transition; physically, mentally, emotionally.

And it deserves care.
Attention.
Support.

Yoga offers a powerful toolkit. Not just to stretch, but to strengthen, soothe, nourish, and understand yourself on a whole new level.

In my SoulShine programme, I blend yoga, breathwork, nervous system support, pelvic floor care, and emotional nourishment, all designed to ease the transition from peri to post-menopause.

You’ll gain:
✧ A deeper understanding of what’s happening in your body
✧ Real tools to ease symptoms and boost your energy
✧ Space to reconnect with your inner power
✧ A supportive community of women walking the same path

There are 2 spaces left in my online 1:1 programme. Alongside working 1:1 with me, you also have the opportunity to join our safe and supportive Facebook group and be a part of a community of women walking this path together.

Comment ‘SHINE’ to learn more, or message me if you’d like to chat.

🤩 Perimenopause Breathwork of the Week 🤩

Extended Exhale Breathing, or a variation on Viloma Pranayama

This practice is perfect for those times during perimenopause and beyond where we are feeling snappy and irritable or stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. I will admit to using this practice A LOT!!

When you extend your exhale, you activate the rest and digest response (parasympathetic nervous system) from the fight/flight/freeze response (sympathetic nervous system), literally changing your body's hormonal response to a situation.

A certain amount of stress can be important, we need the energy that this hormonal release gives us. But in perimenopause cortisol levels are generally higher than normal due to our declining levels of oestrogen, the hormone responsible for regulating our cortisol levels. This is why you will find that you might have a lot less patience and are more irritated than normal.

Practicing this breathwork can help with:
✅ Reducing stress and anxiety
✅ Reduces cortisol levels and helps to regulate emotions
✅ Increases focus and concentration
✅ Lowers blood pressure
✅ Improves sleep (if practiced at bedtime)

Try this technique:
Inhale for a count of 4, exhale for a count of 6-8, focusing on the exhale being slower and softer than the inhale. Repeat for at least 8-10 rounds.

It's pure magic in those times when you need to take a breath!

Comment 👇"YES" if you're adding this to your perimenopause yoga practice!

Samhain Blessings
:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･
Earth medicine and magic cast their spells and fate steps in to direct the path…
As the veil between worlds is at its thinnest may you reunite with those in spirit whose love is eternal and protection is absolute.
May you celebrate this magical time and walk with your ancestors in sacred ritual and profound peace as you welcome the darkness and honour your soul's journey.
This is an invitation to move intentionally and inhale deeply as the Earth opens her heart to gift you the celestial signs of your readiness to receive.
🧡
I’ll bring you home each time you feel lost and light the hearth and nourish your soul so you feel the warmth of my love for you.
My loyal presence will stand strong in winds of change and my branches will shelter you when you need respite from the storms.
I carry your story deep within my being and with every step you take upon Gaia's beating heart I will remind you of who you truly are.
I am the rich bounty that sustains your soul.
I nurture your roots with nature's song and share with you the enchantment and beauty of the wild.
I ground your restless heart and remind you that you have everything you need as I teach you how to find grace with all that you have.
Bright Blessings for a Beautiful Samhain
Let in the Light

🤩 Perimenopause Pose of the Week 🤩

This week we're focusing on Pigeon Pose or Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana.

Why you should be practising this pose in perimenopause 👇

✅Forward folds calm and reset the nervous system
✅Eases tension in the hips
✅Eases tension in the lower back
✅Stimulates digestion (less bloating!)
✅Supports pelvic floor health

💡Knee or hip pain in the forward fold version? No problem.
Rest your hips on a cushion or bolster to ease hip tension. For knee pain, come into a Reclining Pigeon on your back.

🧘‍♀️Take 5-10 breaths in your position of choice, noticing how the body and the hips may soften with each exhale.

👇Comment “YES” if you’re adding this to your daily menopause yoga routine!
