If you’re trying to conceive, or are thinking about it for the near future, this workshop will provide you with practical tools during this important and exciting but frequently vulnerable time.

Beginning with a short lecture on the primary focus of each phase of the menstrual cycle and the benefits of stress reduction, this session will share specific practices to nourish and support your physical, hormonal and emotional health. You’ll explore hatha and yin yoga, restorative poses, meditation, acupressure, breathwork, and yoga nidra, all carefully chosen to give you a toolkit of practices that support the healthy functioning of each phase of the menstrual cycle, encouraging the potential growth of life within your body. You’ll receive clear guidance on when and how to apply these practices to maximise your potential for conception, and Cheryl will introduce the use of essential oils to add an extra layer of nourishment.

You’ll also be introduced to working with your microbiome by Whitney Sophia, a registered nutritional therapist for whom this is a specialism along with hormones and fertility. Whitney will give a short talk about how nutrition can support your fertility journey, including top tips on how optimising your nutrition can support healthy hormones and stress management.

Concluding with a beautiful half hour alchemy crystal bowl sound bath from bowls vibrationally attuned to the endocrine glands and sacral chakra, this supportive workshop will work its magic on many levels. Expect techniques to energetically promote conception, de-stress and recalibrate, improve circulation and warmth around the reproductive organs, promote healthy growth of the follicles and lining in the uterus; and help the body repair, rebuild and nourish optimally at each phase … all within a supportive, caring circle of women who are at a similar life stage.

This workshop is suitable for all women, however, if you have a specific condition or injury that may affect your participation, please email Cheryl in advance of the workshop to provide details at cherylmokhtari@icloud.com
