The Unsexy Truth about Self Care with Laura Feeney

Laura Feeney is a yoga teacher and movement educator who is passionate about helping pre-to postmenopausal women navigate life with ease. Through yoga and mindful movement, she supports women to build strength, maintain and improve mobility, sleep better, and manage stress through her classes, workshops and retreats helping women connect to their bodies with positivity and love.

Laura is originally from the US and I’m also a mom of four grown kids, a business owner, a bookworm, and a jewellery maker. She’s been teaching yoga and movement in rural Ireland since 2004 and opened a movement studio in 2007. But mostly Laura describes herself as a student - of the body, of movement, the brain, the nervous system, the ageing process - you name it, she’s a nerd about it!  

One of Laura’s movement shares on socials caught my eye a few months back, and since then she has been a regular contributor to my Instagram “body love” save folder. I love the way she breaks down simple self-care into doable practices for all of us peri people!

We speak about:

• Laura’s revelations about never feeling “finished” or “done” in life, and how this constant reinvention and evolution excites her
• Our internal belief systems are how they can be a force for good (or not so good) and colour our experience of ageing
• How her own journey through perimenopause invited some changes to her own movement practice and the way she teaches other women in peri and post-menopausal years. 
• Laura’s peri cognitive challenges, a dementia diagnosis close to home and how this has made Laura double down on her study and  focus to neuroprotective factors as she ages and
• the totally unsexy, totally not magic-pill-quick-fix solution truth about self-care in midlife and beyond and just how important being or becoming truly connected to our own needs and desires is as we cross the threshold into our post-menopausal years.
