Your cycle, your practice.
A four week course teaching you how to sync your physical activity to your hormones and feel your best.
Course Kicks Off Wednesday May 12th, 2021.
Start syncing your cycle with your practice today.
As women, our bodies operate on an approximately 28-day lunar cycle, unlike the linear 24-hour male cycle we're all told to mold ourselves to. The fact is, nobody can be expected to perform, think, or feel the same each day – and that's OK! Our biochemistry proves it. Throughout the month, our hormones naturally ebb and flow with the phases of our menstrual cycles. When they're balanced, they sound like a symphony in tune– but nobody ever really teaches us how to be in balance with them.
As a result, your practice just isn't going to feel the same every day of the month, and the prescribed Ashtanga sequence might not be a fit for where you are in your cycle.
By being more aware of hormone levels throughout the month, you can be empowered with the intuitive knowledge on how to support your body with the right food, practice, and activities at each phase of your cycle. This helps to ensure that both the emotional and physical bodies are supported.
It's time to understand what your hormones are doing from day to day, and how this can impact your practice– and any other physical activity.
In this four-week course, you'll learn to approach the fluctuations of your practice with grace, and to embrace all the limbs of yoga – not just asana.
It's time to start supporting your body for a lifetime of practice through nutrition, awareness, and contemplative practices. Get the support you need now, for pain-free periods and to preserve fertility.
The time is now. And we can help.

Marya
I signed up for this course knowing that this was my chance to finally learn about my own body, womanhood and how my yoga practice can support me. I am less inclined to submit to feelings of guilt knowing that how I feel can be attributed to where I am in my female cycle. This course supported me in understanding how to meet myself where I am at. The content shared is so full and enriching, it is definitely your money's worth.
Stacy
More yogis should take this course! There just isn't enough information out there about how to adjust our practice to the reality of our female bodies' needs throughout our cycle. This should be required material for yoga teachers! I know I will be using what I learned to help guide my students toward a healthy and supportive long term yoga practice.
Chantal
Jen and Jenna are pioneers in the yoga world for women. I very much appreciate their accessible approach to the practice. In a future-focused way, they preserve the essence of the yoga tradition, yet they teach with modernity. As a practitioner I feel taken care of and as a teacher I feel endlessly inspired.
