Mindfulness and Relaxation for Menopause course, live on zoom

Are you mystified by the menopause? Is midlife making your miserable? Do you find it hard to slow down? On this eight-week course, we will be focusing on using mindfulness meditation, mindful movement, relaxation and breathing techniques to help you better manage this transition, while also providing a supportive and safe environment for you to share with and support other women.

The course will not cover the pros and cons of HRT, alternative remedies, or dietary changes. Instead we will focus on meditation, relaxation and mindfulness as a way of managing stress and improving your ability to deal with the challenges that this time of life can throw up. These tools are a great compliment to whatever physical intervention (or none) that you choose.

You are expected to establish a home meditation practice during this course, and we have recorded guided meditations and handouts for each session to help support you in this. 

Meditation is not a quick fix, and does require some commitment. We also advise that there are certain times in life when it's not always a good idea to embark on a course like this. Please have a read of this webpage, and if you'd like to speak with us first before signing up, do get in touch.

Cost

As we don't have external funding for this project, the course is now heavily subsidised by us here at Manchester Mind to make it affordable. The amount you pay is still a fraction of the full cost of the course, goes toward our running costs and works out at only £12 per week. 

If this cost is prohibitive for you, do please contact us as we have a small number of bursary places available.

If you'd rather chat to us first before signing up, then we're very happy to arrange a phone call with you to talk through what to expect from the course and if it's right for you at this time.
