The Menstrual Cycle
in Movement
The menstrual cycle is deeply connected with your overall physiology
Understanding the cycle more fully helps us support overall body’s health and treat cycle changes not just as symptoms but as signals.
In this 4-session online course you’ll learn the anatomy and physiology of menstruation, cycle tracking, and evidence-based movement for each phase.
Delivered by Elisa, it combines knowledge with embodied practice.
Each session also includes simple self-reflexology techniques to support balance throughout the cycle.
Whether your cycle is regular, irregular, or shifting—this course is for you.

The Menstrual Cycle Seasons
What each “season” of the menstrual cycle reveals to us and how to move through them
Spring - the follicular phase, when the follicles and eggs are growing and preparing
Summer - the ovulation phase, when the mature egg begins its journey to the uterus
→ Rising estrogen supports energy, focus, and tolerance for more dynamic movement.
→ Reflexology: some reflex points can encourage balance and vitality.
→ Movement suggestions to support this phase, enhancing circulation and stimulating ovulation if required.
module 3
The Menstrual Cycle Seasons
What each “season” of the menstrual cycle reveals to us and how to move through them
Autumn - the luteal phase, when what remains of the follicle, the corpus luteum, prepares the body for the next phase
Winter - the menstruation phase, when the uterus renews its skin
→ Rising progesterone, calming the system but sometimes leading to PMS symptoms.
→ Reflexology: some reflex points can encourage balance and vitality.
→ Movement suggestions to support the preparation of the uterus to either include a new life or stabilize for renewal and sheds.
module 4
Deviations from Menstrual Health
How movement can support menstrual imbalance
We’ll look at common hormonal imbalances (PCOS, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, unexplained infertility, prolactin excess, progesterone or estrogen imbalance, etc.) and how movement can support and release tension in each condition.
