The Mindful Midlife
What is midlife and are you ‘feeling’ it?
Midlife is a relatively unexplored phase in our life, in terms of proactive practices and engagement. For birth, puberty and older age, there are umpteen books, courses, guidance, rituals and the rest. But for midlife, apart from going to see a therapist, not much is offered or talked about.
It is a time in life usually defined by age, and often with negative implications or associations. However, it is more than possible to be in midlife and meet the challenges and changes it brings not only with tools, more ease and knowledge, but with a whole new perspective that is positive and deepens our connection to ourselves and life itself. This is the inspiration and foundation of The Mindful Midlife – a three week live course that will be offered as a private group circle.

This course does not aim to fix, solve or therapise individual issues or health problems. For that, you need individual guidance and teaching. However, the course does aim to provide you with a workable foundation for your wellbeing during this time in life, and hopefully inspire and inform you in ways that are uplifting as well as useful.
Group size limited to foster the connection that is necessary for this kind of course to have real impact – rather than a passing of time or lip service to the topic!
I will hold the space and guide and navigate. But at the same time, the sessions will be co-creative: that’s a fancy way of saying, we will be present to the moment and allow for flexibility depending on the needs and character of participants. Saying that, there will be formal structure, time-keeping, content to get through and homework! (Nice homework…the kind you will enjoy and can do as much or little of as you have the energy for).
NOTES for this course:
To be part of this course, email me at: yogawithdivya@hotmail.co.uk
I will send you a form which is partly a health-and-safety thing (bureaucracy), but partly so that we can both check this is the right course for you.
Presuming all is fine, I’ll send you info on how to prepare for the course ahead and the payment info.
You’ll need to have your video on for each of the sessions. This is for the real-life connection that is a vital component to the efficacy of the course.
If you cannot attend all three sessions, best wait till I run it again. You kinda need all three to make it impactful.
All bookings are non-refundable.
The course is priced exceptionally reasonably, but do not doubt its depth based on that!
I look forward to hearing from you if you think this course if for you.
