This Online Yoga and Women’s Health Training offers a journey into the menstrual cycle and the stages of menopause, integrating the wisdom of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine within a modern therapeutic context.

You will explore the cyclical nature of hormonal health, gaining insight into both the reproductive years and the transition through perimenopause and menopause.

"I recently attended a weekend yoga course focused on Women's Health and Ayurveda, with Carol and it exceeded all my expectations! Carol is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects, creating an atmosphere of warmth and openness from the start. Each session was thoughtfully crafted to blend yoga, Ayurvedic principles, and practical tips for enhancing women's well-being. Not only did I leave feeling physically rejuvenated, but I also gained a deeper understanding of how to nurture my body and mind in alignment with nature's rhythms. I highly recommend this course to any woman looking to prioritize their health and holistic wellness!"

I really appreciated the in-depth manual Carol created - I definitely retain information better when I can read and digest it in my own time and the way you've articulated each subject has been wonderful. I've also really enjoyed implementing some of the Ayurvedic strategies to work on for my own imbalances and I've noticed some really positive outcomes.
