Yoga 101: For the Shifts, Seasons, and Superpowers of Perimenopause and Menopause!
(Free virtual event through Re-Spin: Community for Menopause)

Think yoga is just what you see on Instagram?! Think again!
This beginner-focused, two-part series is designed especially for the menopause community — for anyone who’s been curious about yoga but felt unsure where or how to begin, what it’s all about, how it might help during the menopause transition, or whether it’s even for them. Come for one or join both — you’ll leave feeling informed, connected, and supported in this chapter of life.

Part 1: Foundations

September 22, 2025 at 4:00pm Pacific

Curious about yoga but not sure where to start? This class is a welcoming entry point for newbies and beginners. In this session, we’ll lay the foundation: what is yoga, who is it for, basic terms, what are the props for, and common poses. Plus, a simple practice to put the concepts into action to restore and ground your energy. No pressure, no pretzel poses — just a safe, supportive space to explore. 

Expect an approachable presentation with space for questions, and an easy-to-follow sequence followed by a short, guided relaxation.

Part 2: Building Confidence

October 20, 2025 at 4:00pm Pacific

In this follow-up session, we’ll build on our foundation from Part 1 with an introduction to a central yoga framework that says the different facets of our being — body, breath, mind, wisdom, and joy — are always interacting with each other and influencing our well-being. We’ll explore this concept alongside another guided mini-practice that includes movement, breathwork, and guided relaxation – all with adaptable options.

This class is designed to deepen your understanding and comfort with yoga, helping you feel more confident in any setting.

Practices will be offered seated, standing, and on the floor. Dress in comfy layers. 

FREE online event for folks in perimenopause and menopause! You do not need to be a member of Respin to participate. However, if you are interested in joining Respin Inner Circle, please contact me directly for a discount code.

Yoga Playshop for Neurodivergence
(Virtual event; online only)

Saturday, October 25, 2025 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm Pacific Time
Co-hosted with Jenny Leung, MA, LMFT, RYT

This 3-hour online playshop is designed for neurodivergent individuals – including but not limited to those with ADHD, autism, OCD, PTSD, HSP traits, anxiety, depression, and sensory processing differences. Together, we’ll explore yoga as a tool for deepening self-awareness of your body, mind, and emotions. This yoga practice is adapted to support common neurodivergent challenges, including difficulties with internal sensory awareness (too much or too little), emotion regulation, motor coordination, and nervous system balance.  

Through a mix of guided movement, breathwork, mindfulness, and restorative practices, we’ll explore ways to manage anxiety and depression, soothe your senses, practice self-compassion, and access supports. This playshop is about slowing down and creating space where you can rest free of masking and performance.  

You’ll also get to play – yes, play! – with yoga postures and practices that encourage curiosity, appropriate challenge, and fun. You’ll leave with practical tools that will help you stay regulated in a world that isn’t designed for you. 

This neuro-affirming class welcomes differences in learning styles and prioritizes safety, body autonomy, adaptation, choice, flexible participation, and freedom from social expectations. You are welcome to keep your camera on or off throughout the class. Two short breaks will be included to support rest and integration.

This event will be hosted live online and recorded. All registrants will receive access to the recording so you can revisit the material or practice at your own pace.

This is a beginner-friendly class – no prior yoga experience is necessary. All brains and bodies are welcome (ages 16+).

About the Instructors: Jenny Leung is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Yoga Instructor who also identifies as autistic. Nicole Bratt is a Yoga Instructor (ERYT 500) and Certified IAYT Yoga Therapist who also identifies as having HSP traits.
