Yoga for women’s health overview
The Yoga for Women Only class, also known as Women’s Wellness Yoga, is for yoga NON-beginners. It covers women’s wellness issues in general, such as bone health, osteoporosis, and appropriate movement. But, it also includes options for yoga for period pain, fertility, anxiety, stress, weight gain, intimacy issues, heart disease, and menopause.
(If you’ve done beginner level classes for 12 months plus, and are relatively comfortable with inversions, then you’re also welcome to hold both a non-beginner pass for this class, and a beginner level pass for other classes that you still may do at beginner level. Consider also the 25% off deal for Transition to Non-Beginners pass options).
So, hear certified Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher, Chris Lalor, explain matters that you’ll only hear about in these yoga classes for ladies only. In the class, you’ll also do the poses recommended. Plus, you’ll get interactive tips and guidance on how to do the poses so as to give you the greatest women’s health benefits.
The women’s health poses themselves can also be done in Flametree’s regular classes online or in-studio. But, knowing the particular poses for women’s health, why they help, and what they’re addressing, will also help you ensure the numerous women’s health poses are built into your regular weekly routine.

Plus, here is a quite detailed list of the class content, or syllabus, for this Women Only yoga class.
Wide range of yoga for women’s health topics
The Women Only class or workshop focuses on yoga asanas (poses) that a woman of any age should do in a regular practice so as to maximise female health and wellness.
Context and additional information is given so you can see the importance of each pose.
Knowing the background and context to poses can also help your motivation to do regular yoga practice (in other classes or at home).
In addition, the post at this link also lists some more of the other important topics that will be periodically covered in the Women’s Only class.
To some extent, they are in addition to the issues in the survey of women’s health concerns summarised below.
Weight, menopause, & more
As well as all that, the topics of mindful eating, and intermittent fasting, are also discussed from time to time, and are also outlined further in this Facebook post.
These issues are also discussed by Chris Lalor in other classes or workshops.
Alternatively, you can talk one-to-one with her about them before and after class.
In the process, she will also draw on this discussion about mindful eating and weight. (Weight issues and menopause is one of the many questions people want answers on, especially in relation to menopause).
So, attending online or in-studio, or via yoga video, is also a good way to ensure you learn the poses, and do them regularly.
Yoga for womens health suits all ages
The Women’s Health poses taught are suitable for all phases of a woman’s life cycle.
So, you’ll get many physical and mental benefits from regular Women Only yoga.
This class, or workshop (when it runs), can be done by itself, or combined with the a large number of other class types and formats.
All yoga at Flametree also includes strength training. Given the special bone health issues that face women, appropriate strength training is particularly important… both in terms of muscles, and bones.
Therefore, whatever your fitness goals, you’ll be able to achieve all the goals you can in a fitness studio. But, you’ll get much more from Flametree’s exercise program. Among many other yoga benefits, you’ll also boost energy and body strength.
So, at the end of every yoga for women’s health training, people of all ages will feel the benefits of Flametree’s in-studio or online Women Only classes.

Survey of typical concerns addressed by yoga for women
In 2019, a survey of 10,000 Australian women had worrying findings. More than 40 per cent of women said they had been previously diagnosed with a nervous system condition. These includes an anxiety issue or depression.
In addition, the survey also said that a “concerning” number of all ages had trouble sleeping. Many worried “excessively about different things”.
The study also found the biggest health concerns of women across all ages were:
- menopause, including hot flashes, and mental clarity at times
- period pain
- heart disease
- breast cancer
- bowel health
- mood swings common to premenstrual syndrome
- hormonal shifts
- mental health
- levels of stress, and
- painful physical intimacy.
These concerns are exactly the type of issues that Flametree’s Women’s Only Yoga classes for ladies seeks to address. (See also our post on yoga for bone health and osteoporosis).
Other women’s health issues, or issues for ladies only
Younger women in the study were also concerned about fertility, and endometriosis.
A quick scan of media over the last 12 months also shows the increased attention to these issues.
At various life changes, women also often have issues with and questions regarding lower back pain, weight loss, body weight, belly fat, or weight gain.
In addition, some women regularly experience chronic pain related to particular Women’s Health issues.
Clearly, there is much that can be addressed that is of particular concern to women. Such issues also include stress levels, as well as physical and mental well-being. We discuss some of these below, including why they are ongoing issues for women.
Yoga for women: for all issues, as well as pelvic issues
No matter what your body type, the practice of yoga, in any high quality form, will make a huge difference.
So Flametree’s weekly Women Only (regular or occasional) classes will address all of the issues above, and more.
You’ll learn yoga postures, get commentary from the teacher in class, and be able to participate in questions and answers.
There are things you can only comfortably talk about in these yoga classes for ladies only.
Obviously, issues related to pain in intimacy, overly tight pelvic floors, and more, is one such area. (For more on what I, Christine, will address in this area, see my post on the topic of so-called pelvic liberation).
So, in these yoga classes for women only, the yoga poses are also specially designed sequences (or sets of poses) for women only yoga. They address all the issues above, and more.
But, in addition, many of Flametree’s other regular weekly yoga and breath meditation classes also help with addressing these women’s issues.
Most importantly, they provide additional time for regular yoga practise of what you’ll learn in these yoga classes for women.
In particular, if you’ve led a sedentary lifestyle lately, then a yoga intervention, is excellent alternative medicine. In addition, in this women only yoga class, you’ll learn poses that can be built into a variety of yoga routines.
If you have particular issues you want to discuss, please chat to the teacher before or after class, or contact us.

Busy lives lead to exhaustion & frustration
Women live very busy lives, especially in any professional life they have. As well as all that, they have multiple roles.
Often the struggle of family, and other paid work, leads to exhaustion and frustration.
Biologically, women also face specific issues. First, for decades, they face the physiological and hormonal changes that occur monthly.
Second, they face changes and challenges with age as they progress to and beyond menopause.
These challenges bring their own set of unique problems and internal conflicts.
So, Flametree’s Women Only classes and workshops also help women find more calm and balance in the way they live.
Plus, as discussed, the Women Only class is used to address their specific health concerns, via yoga.

More on what happens in a Ladies Only type class
In this Women Only yoga class, the teacher will do a number things.
First, they will demonstrate a pose. Depending on the pose, the women’s only teacher will tell you where to put your right hand, or right foot, or right shin, or right leg, or whatever.
In addition, for instance, they may show how your abdominal muscles, or sit bones, or inner thighs, work together to improve a particular pose.
In yogic exercises, there is also a straight line between the pose, and matters like your your blood flow, blood circulation, physical health, and much more.
The teacher will focus on teaching the pose, and having you do the poses.
But the comments from your teacher will draw out some of why the pose is being done.
So, these hatha yoga poses, in the Iyengar yoga style, will work for all age groups, and all levels of skills.
Consequently, they’re suitable for advanced y0gis, and any other non-beginners. The class consists of the best yoga poses for these purposes, adjusted for who is the class.
The classes are a great way to set yourself up to get all the health benefits of yoga, plus address the special issues for women.
Like all yoga, depending on what you want, there are also spiritual benefits, as well as the generation of inner peace.
Details of yoga for women classes, including yoga for period pain
As mentioned, the weekly Women Only class is simultaneously LIVE online and in-studio (in Darwin, NT, Australia).
If online, you can of course choose to have your camera off. Then, you can still see the teacher, but they can’t see you. (Obviously, if they teacher can’t see you, it prevents them giving you specific tips about improving the women’s health yoga pose, or getting more from it).
A selection of the classes are also available as videos in Flametree’s On-Demand options.
The in-studio class is held at 19b Bishop Street, Woolner, Darwin.
Women Only classes also include more restorative yoga poses than the average yoga classes. Among many other things, this is also helpful yoga for period pain, stress, anxiety, weight issues, and more.
Chris Lalor uses bright yoga pants so her classes can be watched easily online. Her demonstrations also show better yoga than you’ll see in most stock photos. Chris’ general health, and women’s health, have both seen immense benefits from doing poses taught in Women’ Only yoga.
