Duration: 1 hour
Aimed at: Anyone interested in exploring why & how physical activity forms an important part of a holistic approach to mastering our menopause.
Course tutor: Sarah Taylor – Think Active Partnership Manager
Menopause - the point in time when periods have stopped for 12 consecutive months & the perimenopausal years leading up to this, might be inevitable & unstoppable, but it represents a life stage full of possibilities.
With the average age of menopause in the UK being 51, many women will spend more than 40% of their lives on some part of their menopause journey. It can be a time of significant physical & emotional change, which can impact our overall well-being.
Join us to explore how physical activity, as part of a holistic approach, can help women become better prepared to offset the effects of our declining sex hormones & master our menopause.
