Feedback from yoga teachers who've attended Jane & Julia's Perimenopause & Menopause Training:

"The course exceeded my expectations! It provided theory, different models of the perimenopause and beyond, movement and breath practices, poetry and different readings and articles related to Peri-menopause and Menopause . As participants we shared our ideas through the discussion forum, sharings and practices in the sessions which was also hugely valuable. Jane and Julia led the group with sensitivity and enthusiasm, allowing there to be space for our contributions. Thank you so much."

Course Certification

Your success in completing the Perimenopause - for Yoga Teachers & Therapists 6 week Training will be celebrated with a Yoga Teachers Forum certificate.

Once you have registered you will be sent enrolment details.

Although this training draws strongly on our own experiences of perimenopause as cis-women we want to create space for trans and non-binary people who experience menopause too, and the experience of cis-men as they go through their own midlife transition.  We welcome all yoga teachers & therapists to our training.
