Yoga, Natural Medicine and Menopause

An Introduction with Hope Ryf and Maggie Mellor

Next Workshop Date to be Announced

Everyday 5,000 women turn 50 in the United States alone! Controversy about Hormone Replacement Therapy makes finding solutions to the concerns around this natural transition in life, all the more urgent. Menopause is also known as the time we move into the Wise Woman phase of life. In this sense it is an empowering time. Physically, emotionally and spiritually we are rebalancing and redefining ourselves at the deepest levels during menopause. Yoga and Natural medicine can be very helpful at this time

Hope Ryf, M.S.,L.Ac will lead a discussion on menopause and answer your questions regarding this topic. Hope is a licensed Acupuncturist/Herbologist and has been practicing Oriental Medicine for 13 years at the Natural Healthcare Center in Thousand Oaks California. She has completed advanced studies in natural hormones and women's health issues at the Institute of Women's Health and Integrative Medicine in Portland Oregon. Hope has also attended the Iyengar Yoga Institute for teachers training in San Francisco California.

In this workshop Maggie, herself now a Wise Woman, will lead a yoga sequence which specifically relieves the symptoms of menopause and promotes the balancing of hormones. Some of the benefits of this practice are: reduced hot flashes, a cleansed lymphatic system and a relaxed nervous system. Weight bearing postures prevent osteoporosis, while pranayama and meditation relive insomnia and promote mental calmness.

Join us for this interesting and useful workshop and share the laughter, laments and wisdom of other women.
