"My story with menstrual awareness as a conscious spiritual practice began in my twenties with a PMS diagnosis. I had been experiencing two weeks of misery every month and I knew that I had to do something about it. The bloating, weeping, anger outbursts and constipation was one thing, but the increasing bouts of anxiety, paranoia, depression, acute self-criticism, self-loathing, discontentment with life and feeling uncomfortable in my own skin were another.

I loathed the menstrual cycle and the physical, emotional and mental discomfort that accompanied it. And while it was a relief when menstruation itself arrived and the inner pressure would ease, the bleeding was an inconvenience that needed to be managed, as life continued at its normal busy pace, working my way up the career ladder and playing competitive sport.

Eventually, the uncomfortable monthly feelings became so intense, I knew something needed to be done. I wasn’t sure exactly what could be changed as at the time I very much bought into the paradigm that we are the way we are and that is just our luck in life, but I was open to options. This is often the case; it is not until our situation becomes critical that we begin to take responsibility.”

The menstrual cycle is amazing! Yes, that’s right, it is can be positive and highly transformative, supportive and empowering experience if we allow it to be. Here at Beinspired we are passionate about helping women (re)connect with their menstrual cycle and their innate knowing and wisdom. We are also passionate about the healing power of the moon and the manner in which it can help us navigate our life in a positive direction. Both Katie and Emma use their menstrual cycles as an opportunity for spiritual growth and transformation, and they work with the moon energy too, to help them create a life worth living that is true to their heart and soul.

Included in this online course, which you can do at home in your own time and at your own pace, are four yoga sessions, one for each of the four phases of your menstrual cycle, together with four mediations for each of the four main phases of the moon cycle. These videos and audios will help you to notice more of how you feel at each phase of your cycle and the moon cycle so that you can better navigate each. It’s a deeply empowering experience to be so intimately aware of how your menstrual cycle and the moon cycle affects you.

It will also help you to reframe the menstrual cycle into something positive, letting go of any feelings of shame, frustration, anger, sadness and/or irritation in the process.

The course will absolutely help you if you are navigating fertility issues or any kind of menstrual discomfort and/or pain. If truly embraced, you will find this course transformative and truly life changing.
