Breathe Through the Change: A Breath Coaching Workshop for Menopause . 1. hour 50 mins Menopause brings with it a cascade of changes — hot flushes, disrupted sleep, anxiety, brain fog, and fatigue — but one of the most overlooked tools for managing these symptoms is something you're already doing every moment of the day: breathing. This practical, science-backed workshop introduces the principles of the Oxygen Advantage, a breathing methodology developed by Patrick McKeown, and explores how optimising your breathing patterns can meaningfully reduce the severity of common menopausal symptoms. What you'll discover: Many women in perimenopause and menopause develop subtle breathing dysfunctions — including chronic over-breathing and mouth breathing — that dysregulate the nervous system, reduce oxygen delivery to tissues, and amplify the very symptoms they're struggling with. By learning to breathe less, not more, you can begin to shift the body toward greater calm, resilience, and balance. In this workshop you will learn how nasal breathing activates the body's own calming mechanisms and may reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flushes, how improving your BOLT score (Body Oxygen Level Test) reflects and supports better CO₂ tolerance — a key factor in managing anxiety and breathlessness, how slow, low breathing stimulates the vagus nerve to bring the autonomic nervous system out of its menopausal overdrive, and how targeted breath-hold exercises can improve sleep onset and reduce night-time waking. Who it's for: Women in perimenopause or menopause who want a natural, evidence-informed approach to symptom management — whether used alongside HRT or as a standalone strategy. What to expect: A blend of education, guided breathwork practice, and take-home techniques you can use morning, night, and in the moment a hot flush strikes. No prior breathwork experience needed — just a willingness to breathe differently.
