All women, aged 30 and beyond, could benefit from the course.

The menopause transition begins for most women somewhere between 38 years old and 58 years old and can last for up to ten years. All knowledge shared would also be helpful for women, pre-menopause to learn. Now the Menosphere has opened-up, it is possible, more than ever before, for women to empower themselves earlier in life, establishing healthy lifestyle habits, that will serve them well during their twenties and thirties and also set themselves up to adventure more smoothly through their forties, fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond.   

Everything shared by Emma Strong Yoga as part of the course is scientifically, evidence based. The Meno-sphere is loud these days. Which is great. There is more information, awareness and support available than ever before. We are a maverick, pioneer, generation of women, redescribing the terms and ways in which we move through our menopause years. Alongside this, as there often is within the wellness industry, there is a dizzying amount of wellness offer, a lot of which is experimental and scientifically unproven. A lot of which is outdated and unreliable. A lot of frankly, speculative, over-priced woo woo.

During her own, 10 years in, menopause journey, Emma Strong, after suffering horribly for years, discovered, recovered, began to cope, then kept practising, reading, studying, and training to share, bringing together for sharing only what she knows is reliable, effective, and evidence based. Emma keeps it simple, sharing only from what she knows can work. She’s been there, desperate to ease struggles in her life, willing to try anything everything, including the weirdest and wackiest. Having been burnt badly in her past by less scrupulous practices, she is deeply committed to only sharing what she knows to be safe, reliable and effective. Everything she shares is also inclusive, accessible/adaptable for every body, body positive, pro-aging and above all else, celebratory of what an incredible thing it is to be alive.
