Friday, July 8th: 6:00-9:30 pm
Saturday, July 9th, 11:30 am-3:00 pm and 3:30-7:00 pm

Jeanne-Marie has years of experience teaching Iyengar Yoga and specializes in Yoga for Women. These presentations will cover Prenatal, Post-natal, Menses and Menopause, as well as pertinent guidelines, contraindications and teaching methodology.

Friday, 6:00-9:30 pm
Menstruation - There are many creative variations of the asanas for a series designed for menstruation. When practicing during menstruation, attend to the most obvious conditions first. It is usually suggested to start with Supta (reclining) poses because of the deep rest, relaxation and the openness of the pelvis which encourages flow.

Saturday, 11:30 am-3:00 pm, Session 1:
Pre-natal - Yoga is an ideal body conditioning program for promoting a healthy body and mind for pre and post natal support. Once pregnant, as long as the pregnancy is progressing well and the mother is healthy, yoga might be the best of all conditioning programs. Pre natal routines are designed considering the changes for each trimester and the changes that occur for the individual. So, there are different routines for each trimester.
Post-natal - The post natal routine considers the delivery and the reconditioning of the mother's body after delivery. Caesarean births and vaginal births are very different conditions and have different recovery times and considerations.

Saturday, 3:30-7:00 pm, Session 2:
Menopause - The many conditions of menopause can be attended to through a select and discriminate series of asanas. The asanas are used to open, stretch, strengthen, increase circulation, cool and relax the body, nervous system and mind. This gives the opportunity to understand the menopausal conditions with acceptance, patience and serenity.
