Practice for Peri-menopause/ Menopause: The Lifting, Elongating and Energising Practice, Part II

The Lifting, Elongating and Energising Practice complements the Softening, Widening, and Surrendering Practice (Part 1 and Part II).  The actions and asanas in this practice tone the reproductive organs, as well as the muscles and other tissue that hold these organs in place. These asanas will indeed ‘lift’ the body, and lift the spirit, and remove dullness. This practice is also recommended for post partum, and post menstruation period.  This practice is divided into Part I and Part II only to keep the durations of the recordings practice-friendly.  When familiar with the practice, Part I and II may be done in continuation.  They may also be broken into smaller chunks for shorter practice sessions.

This recording is part of the Short Course Practice for Peri-menopause/ Menopause.  While there is nothing wrong in doing this as a stand-alone sessions, we strongly recommend working with all the recordings in the short course to gain a balanced understanding of this practice.  In addition,  the Short Course Principles of Womens’ Practice is also recommended.
