Embodied Strength - Workshop

Living in a body can be a challenge. As a female, there is an extra layer of complexity to health. The cyclical nature of our bodies and the play of estrogen can lead to increased chronic inflammation and autoimmune disease via a variety of mechanisms. We know most health studies are performed on males. Likewise most workout classes are made for the “average” body.

Exercise advice for inflammation often stops at “gentle activity”; yin yoga, long walks, qi gong. These activities are less likely to lead to a flare up like a power yoga class or intense cross fit session might. But what about for those who don’t just want to reduce flares, but want to heal and improve?

Mamoun Bennani is a personal trainer specialized in using resistance training to heal chronic inflammation. He’s seen success with fibromyalgia, endometriosis and other similar conditions.

Courtney Kirkby is a holistic uterine care provider who combines abdominal massage therapy, menstrual charting, peristeaming and loads of education and evidence to support females from menarche to menopause.

Together they combine their knowledge and years of experience to address the question of how to find embodied strength and reduce inflammation in the female body.
