    Women's Cyclical Wellness Yoga

    Karma House Community Wellness Center, 72 North Ave, Battle Creek · verified Jul 31
    See details

    Women’s Cyclical Wellness Yoga offers a nourishing practice that moves with the moon and centers the menstrual cycle and life transitions as pathways back to embodied wisdom. All women are welcome, including those who bleed monthly, are navigating hormonal changes, or are postmenopausal. No prior knowledge of cycles or physiology is required. Each session aligns with the current lunar phase and the inner seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter through therapeutic yoga, breathwork, and gentle reflection. The focus is on regulation, intuitive awareness, and trusting the body’s natural rhythms. Participants explore how moon phases relate to the menstrual cycle, the stages of menarche, the reproductive years, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, and ways to honor rest, vitality, expression, and release equally. Practices are customized to meet each phase. This offering is donation based with suggested contributions of $5, $10, or $15. It is led by Teresa Biggs, RYT-500, an advanced yoga teacher, feminine embodiment guide, somatic trauma therapy certified practitioner, Reiki Master, and educator, as well as the host of the Your Cyclical Nature podcast and Womb & Woo Wisdom on Substack. She is currently completing doctoral studies in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine and preparing to open a clinical practice offering acupuncture, herbal therapies, and integrative women’s health care.
