Episode 15 | Women's health & the magic of our menstruation cycle with Bex Tyrer
As we continue to speak about the Moon, I am excited to share this month's podcast episode with my dear friend and menstrual cycle activist Bex Tyrer.
As we have just launched our Lunar collection that focuses on the power of the Moon and all its phases, it is an honor to continue the ‘Moon’versations - so to speak - from another angle: menstrual cycle awareness and alignment with the Moon and its phases.
Bex has dedicated her life’s work to yoga and women’s health and focuses on inclusivity, trauma work and social and environmental justice. Bex has been a full time yoga teacher at the Yoga Barn, the largest yoga studio in Asia, since 2009.
This brand new episode speaks about the following topics:
How yoga is a traditional practice for men that carries much wisdom and also doesn’t include women’s natural cycles and bodies.
Addiction and eating disorders in yoga and how the separation from our cycles and bodies can contribute to a break and separation within ourselves
How women’s periods are our 5th vital sign and the many different ways periods serve as an indicator of a women’s health
The function of women’s periods, or moon cycles, and what we “give birth to” every month
What a normal period actually is and what miraculous things our bodies do every month
The follicular and luteal phases and how we can make the most of them
What hormones our natural cycles activate and how they work with our brains, hearts and overall health
How stress effects our cycles and overall health and the timing of our cycles
What men can do to work with the moon phases and natural rhythms of the earth
The options women have for menstrual products and how much we actually bleed every month
Menopause, Perimenopause and what those phases of women’s lives actually entail, with hormonal and period cycle changes
