Teaching Yoga for the Menstrual Cycle: An Ayurvedic Approach by Anja Brierley Lange

This book addresses the importance of the menstrual cycle and how Ayurvedic principles can best be applied to understand the anatomical, physiological and hormonal changes that take place during different stages and weeks throughout the menstrual cycle.
Anja Brierley Lange highlights the purpose and importance of each phase of the menstrual cycle and how yoga teaching can and should be tailored accordingly to your students' menstrual needs.

Teaching Yoga for the Menstrual Cycle Reviews

You are holding a treasure for women everywhere who are seeking help, balance,
and attunement to the power of their moon cycle from the wisdom of Ayurveda and yoga as a way of life, rhythm and harmony with nature

-- Shiva Rea, founder Samudra Global School for Living Yoga and author of Tending the Heart Fire
This book is a solution for the prominent barriers I faced while starting my Ayurveda practice in the UK ... Although Anja has indicated that the level of information in this book is mainly for yoga teachers and practitioners, every woman in my view should be equipped with this knowledge to guide her choices and help deliver the optimum possibility of living life to the fullest. -- Dr. Shijoe Mathew Anchery BAMS PG Dip in Panchakarma PGDCRRA
