Our society and culture has instilled in us a mentality of being always on the go and that working hard, playing hard, living fast is the route to success and happiness! But what if our physiology wasn’t designed to live this way? Today we’re exploring cyclical living and the importance of menstrual health in women and people with vulvas with guest Nour Kayali who is a holistic yoga teacher and menstrual cycle coach in training. Nour is passionate about helping everyone to understand that for anyone with a vulva, regardless of whether they have a menstrual bleed or not, there are hormonal changes happening in a cycle that will affect how you feel and therefore how you live your life. This is such an interesting conversation and topic and one I’m excited to share on the podcast to support more understanding and openness around hormonal health and menstrual cycles. In our conversation we talk about: What a menstrual cycle is and the four phases that occur each cycle. The link to the moon and the ancient wisdom that’s been guiding hormonal cycles for thousands of years. Why it’s important to have awareness of the changes that happen in each monthly cycle. How cyclical living can support strong health, and optimise energy and performance. The impact of understanding why you might feel differently throughout your menstrual cycle - and the risk of not understanding this. The connection between having better knowledge and understanding of menstrual cycles and menopause. Opening up the conversation in workplaces and with men to encourage more understanding and support. Tips to build habits into your wellness toolkit to better support yourself with your menstrual cycle. About Nour: Nour is a holistic yoga teacher, workshop facilitator and menstrual cycle coach in training, passionate about sharing tools for connecting to our sense of home.
