Initiation

In this class we’ll learn about our innate feminine and masculine energy and how to balance and nourish both sides of ourselves. We’ll learn how to take back time to nourish ourselves even when life is demanding. We’ll introduce the process of increasing your awareness of the changes that take place in your body through out your cycle and how to work with it for maximum well-being, creativity and happiness. The online course for June will support you in adopting healthy practices that are easy to add into your day, avoiding creating unnecessary stress on your physical health and carving out space for yourself.

Your Body, Your Compass

This class will focus on making an ally out of your body, not an enemy. Using awareness, feedback, loving self-reflection on our bodies, our bodies can help use get to the heart of the matter, identifying when things aren’t working and when they are. By developing this we can take the hard work out of managing our physical and mental health and well-being by keeping in flow. As the phase of menstruation is the time we’re best able to identify what is not working for us and have vision for the future, online support will give you practices to help have “your best period ever.”

Nourish and Grow

This in person class will focus on putting in place proper nourishment for yourself, including the proper foods, but also carving out support systems into your life and incorporating activities that make you feel good. Knowing when you are reaching depletion and identifying where you draw strength and enthusiasm from. The follicular phase will be the focus for this months learning. A time of growth, renewal and openness, it’s the ideal time to try new things and improve your routines

Your Inner Voice Unleashed

In order to be well in all areas of our lives, we have to be able to be able to express ourselves, feel heard and uninhibited. We’re all innately creative and creativity in itself is a feminine expression. In this class we’ll look at using the body to stimulate creativity and keep it flowing. We’ll look in particular at the importance of story and writing. This month’s focus will be on the ovulation phase of the cycle which is our optimum time for communication and expression.

Completing the cycle with the luteal phase in focus, and reenforcing everything we've learnt. By the last session you will be living your most vibrant, hormonally balanced, vital and fulfilled life. In this class we’ll learn about conserving your vital energy and transforming anything that knocks you off course into a way to build yourself stronger.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this course aimed at?

This course is designed for women who are in their reproductive stage of life specifically. Anyone from late teens up to early peri-menopause will find the information and exploration in this course useful, nourishing and practical.

I'm not menstruating/have a very irregular cycle, is this course still suitable?

Yes! This course is especially useful for people who struggle with irregular, unpredictable or absent cycles. This course will help you to learn how to gently get back on track if that's what your body needs or embrace your uniqueness and find connection to your reproductive centres and femininity in the absense of a period.

I've been diagnosed with a specific condition or collection of symptoms i.e endometriosis, poly-cystic ovaries, dysmeorrhea, fibroids etc. Will this course help?

This course will support you with the lifestyle, stress management, self-care and nourishment mindset that will help you to facilitate your own healing or maintenance of these conditions. The course is not intended to replace medical treatment or supervision, but to fill in the gap of information and practical personal steps you can take to improve your reproductive help. If this is you, please let me know what you experience prior to the course so I can ensure it's covered.

I'm currently pregnant, is this course suitable for me?

You can take this course while pregnant if you wish. It's not a pregnancy yoga course and does not replace specific pre-natal yoga instruction, but it will give you lots of information and inspiration about the female reproductive system to facilitate your post-natal journey and return to your cycle after birth.

I'm going through menopause, is this course for me?

Full Circle is not specifically about menopause, but it does contain a lot of content that is helpful, empowering and supportive of the stages leading up to menopause, i.e peri-menopause.

I'm on a fertility journey, is this course for me?

Full Circle is full of information that's supportive of fertility if that's your goal. The information can be used to help you lay good ground work for becoming pregnant in the near or distant future. It's not specifically a fertility course and should be used in conjunction with your fertility treatment and advice if you are undergoing IVF or alternative treatments for fertility.

I'm on the pill/bar/IUD etc, will I benefit from this course?

Yes most definitely. If you suffered from any negative period related symptoms prior to your use of contraception, chances are the underlying causes are not resolved but just the symptoms are masked. The information in the course will facilitate your body to be in better condition to resolve underlying causes and come off your contraception more smoothly when the time comes. The course aims to be equally relevant to those on hormonal contraception as those not.

I would love my teen daughter to take this course - is it suitable for under 18s?

I am happy to accept under 18's to this course if accompanied by an adult. Bare in mind there is mild, positive reference to female sexuality included in the course. I always recommend that you ensure your daughter is enthusiastic herself about the idea and you feel enthusiastic about learning more too! It's a great way of connecting as mother and daughter to be more conscious of the effects of the cycle on our experience of life and interpersonal interactions.
