Most modern yoga practices often glaze over the physical, mental and emotional differences between women and men, despite women making up the majority of yoga practitioners worldwide. We seem to only acknowledge the womb-space in prenatal & postnatal yoga classes, and less so in other more athletic and alignment-based yoga classes. In these classes, very rarely do women get asked if they were on their period, are wearing an IUD, or suffer from other ailments that could contraindicate certain poses or practices.
We want to create a more women-friendly space to practice yoga and seek therapy in, especially in a world where more is being demanded from women at home and at work, and where women are suffering more than ever from menstrual pain and disorders (e.g. PCOS, endometriosis), infertility issues and other illnesses.
With Terra Luna Yoga, our dream is to create a community of sisters, a healing and empowering space for women of every age and life stage, where everyone is heard and respected. Where menarche, menstruation and menopause – together with pregnancy and motherhood – are celebrated as portals to deep inner wisdom, comfort and strength.
