Pooja's experience on Menopause

For the past 2 years, I noticed the pattern of my monthly menstrual cycle changing. My period would last over 2-3 months and some days it would be heavy and some days it would be light. After a few visits to the doctors, I had a Mirena coil fitted, which did not suit my body. I was also put on Iron and Vitamin D supplements. Having all of this took a real toll on both my physical and mental health.

At my wits end, I messaged Manisha from MPT Lifestyle, to find out if she had any upcoming

retreats. Luckily for me they had one to Ibiza 2022 and one space left. Without a second thought I booked myself onto the retreat.

A yoga retreat is just what I needed for my well-being. Daily morning yoga, physical exercises,

meditation, talks on menopause and evening entertainment were all very well organised. Having talks and everyone sharing their own individual’s journey was a real eye opener and made me feel like I was not alone. On this retreat, I have learnt that talking therapy and looking after your own well-being is so important.
