Endometriosis


and yoga
With one in 10 women
suffering from
endometriosis there’s a
growing demand for
natural pain relief for the
condition. Women’s Health
Physio and endometriosis
sufferer Heba Shaheed
suggests a number of
healthy tips for naturally

managing pain associated with the condition, some of which will delight


yogis. She suggests starting the day with sun salutations to stretch the hips


and abdomen, practicing pranayama to relax the nervous system and


reduce pain, and eating a plant based diet, which is known for its


anti-inflammatory properties. See http://www.thepelvicexpert.com for more


information, including yoga-inspired exercise programs for endometriosis


sufferers and additional information on hormonal health, pregnancy,


menstruation and more.


Introducing Club W – the latest in


fitness and lifestyle innovation


Fitness industry leader Tony de Leede has launched an exciting new fitness


centre in southern Sydney’s Caringbah. The special centre for women only


has been specifically designed for women who crave community and


connection whilst immersing themselves in wellness, conveniently. But


wait for it – the studios are virtual, serving up group exercise classes


including yoga, pilates, dance, meditation and more. The facility offers


over 200 classes, with content delivered in five, 10, 20 and 30 minutes


across the club’s four studio rooms. There’s also a massage room and


consultation pods for some good old-fashioned face-to-face interaction.


The staff aren’t robots just yet, and with a big focus on connection, there


are hosts on site to point guests in the right direction. Leede says,


“I wanted to create somewhere I could imagine my mum or my


sister coming to get out of the house – a place that offers not


only movement, but also community.”
