Nourishing the Female Gut: An event for elevating female gut health through nutrition and yoga.
With the plethora of confusing information and pseudoscience around gut health and hormones, this is your one-stop event to gain confidence in understanding how to nourish your gut as a female and move with your flow. In this 2-part workshop, you'll join gut-health specialist dietitian, author and founder of Nutrition A-Z Sandra Mikhail and Sarah Medina, an international yogi from Spain based in Dubai, to take a deep-dive into the world of the female gut.
In Sandra's workshop, Nourishing the Female Gut, you will cover:
"Manipura Flow" with Sarah:
Sarah's yoga flow will follow, where you will experience a soul-full yoga sequence focused on balancing the Manipura chakra, AKA, the Solar Plexus chakra. This energy centre, which is located at the level of the navel, is responsible for balancing the energy within our bodies and, as the seat of the digestive system, the Manipura chakra also oversees and regulates the functions of the organs involved in the digestion process; stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine and liver. The sequence includes some gut balancing breathwork and a meditation with affirmations at the end of the class.
This event is expected to sell out as limited spaces available.
