yoga for women
Most of the yoga practised today was developed by men and for men. Women have always practised yoga, but less publicly and their practice differs in some of its aspects.
These sessions are meant to support women* during three specific periods of their lives: menstruation, pregnancy and menopause.
Each sessions will spend some time to better understand these different phases from a yogic point of view, what is good for the body during these periods and what is not supporting or even weakening it. After there will be a physical introduction of supportive asanas and those that specifically alleviate discomfort in different phases. (The content of each class will depend partly on the constitution of the group.)
Previous yoga experience is not necessary.
*These classes are for biological women. My knowledge of the processes is not sufficient to support people who have chosen hormonal (and surgical) sex reassignment.

practice guidelines
The spaces where yoga for women is held have yoga mats and props, but you can bring your own mat if you prefer so.
Wear comfortable clothes, we practice barefoot.
Ideally there should be 3-4hrs between the beginning of the class and the last large meal, a small 'snack' up to 2hrs before practice is ok.
Do not drink anything during the practice (also not water) as fluid affects the occurring physiological processes.
And last but not least - in Sundernath's words: Sometimes something brings you to a place of learning. Come with an open mind, even if you don't know exactly what you came for.
