The Four Pillars Yoga Teacher Training
Thriving Through Menopause
Supporting Brain, Bone, Muscle & Heart Health Through Yoga
As yoga teachers, our classes are filled with women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause, yet many of us feel uncertain about how best to support them.
The good news? You don’t need to become a menopause specialist.
What you do need is an understanding of the four key areas of health affected by declining oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone: the brain, bones, muscles and heart.
This evidence-informed training will give you the confidence, knowledge and practical tools to create safe, effective and empowering classes for women in their menopause years.

Included with your booking:

The online modules allow you to build your understanding of the physiological changes that occur during menopause before the workshop, so that our time together can focus on practical teaching skills and application.
About the Workshop
While every woman’s experience of menopause is unique, all women experience declining sex hormones. Understanding how these hormonal changes affect the brain, bones, muscles and heart is key to creating safe, effective and menopause-informed yoga classes.
Through a blend of pre-course science modules and an in-person practical workshop, you’ll explore how yoga, strength-building practices, breathwork, mindfulness and meditation can support these Four Pillars of health, helping your students thrive through menopause and beyond.
What You’ll Learn
The training is structured around The Four Pillars Framework:
