Yoga for Women's Health

A gentle, powerful return to your body.

This four-week series led by Kayla Copeland, MA, E-RYT500 and Christine Kenline, MA, C-IAYT is designed for women who want to reconnect with their cycles, regulate their nervous systems, and build a more compassionate relationship with their bodies.

Rather than pushing toward performance or intensity, this space invites attunement. We move with the intelligence of the seasons — winter, spring, summer, and fall — as a way of understanding our hormonal rhythms, emotional landscapes, and inner capacities.

This is yoga as embodied listening. And living.

This is practice as relationship.
With yourself.

Who: Any Female-Bodied Humans
Where:‍ ‍Zoom online
When: April 9, 16, 23, 30

  • Women’s bodies move in rhythms. We are not meant to operate in perpetual summer. In this series, we explore embodiment through the lens of inner seasons.

    Winter | Rest + Restoration |
    Instead of fighting against your body’s natural process of letting go through menstruation; we create mindful rituals for slowing down, deep listening, and nervous system repair.

    Spring | Renewal + Emergence |
    Exploring follicular phases and new beginnings, Energy rises, clarity increases. We explore gentle activation, mobility, and intention-setting for sustainability.

    Summer | Expression + Strength |
    The sun is high during ovulation; you may be feeling more called toward outward expression and confidence. Discover practices that build strength, fluidity, and heart-centered connection.

    Fall | Release + Integration |
    During luteal phases, sensitivity deepens, discernment sharpens. We practice boundary awareness, slower strength, and emotional integration.

    Even if you are not menstruating (postpartum, perimenopausal, menopausal, on hormonal birth control), these seasonal archetypes remain powerful maps for understanding your internal rhythms.

  • You can expect:

    • A supportive, non-competitive space

    • Permission to modify, rest, or adjust

    • Education that demystifies your cycle

    • A trauma-informed approach

    • Practical tools for daily life

    This is more than cycle tracking. This is not about fixing your body to conform.

    It’s about learning to listen and create a life that truly supports your inner (& outer) world.

  • This series may be especially supportive if you:

    • Experience PMS, burnout, or cycle-related mood shifts

    • Feel disconnected from your body

    • Tend to override your need for rest

    • Are navigating transitions (career, motherhood,
      relationship shifts, perimenopause)

    • Want a slower, wiser relationship to movement

    No prior yoga experience is required.

  • Many women were taught to override their bodies — to push through, perform, and stay productive regardless of internal rhythms.

    This series offers something different.

    When we honor winter, spring becomes more vibrant.

    When we allow fall, summer feels sustainable.

    When we listen to our cycles, our lives become more cyclical — and less exhausting.

    Embodiment is not about intensity.

    It is about intimacy.

  • Each 90-minute session includes:

    • Arrival + grounding practice

    • Nervous system-informed movement sequence

    • Education on the week’s seasonal theme

    • Experiential practices that support you wherever you’re at in your cycle

    • Guided embodiment or journaling reflections

    • Closing integration for the week

  • Details:

    Trained extensively in yoga and mindfulness alongside her graduate-level work in counseling psychology, Kayla believes that movement is not just physical—it’s relational, psychological, and deeply embodied.

    In this series, she invites you to experience yoga as a practice of attunement, not performance—meeting yourself season by season, breath by breath.

    Christine Kenline

    Christine Kenline, MA, C-IAYT, is a Professional Counselor Associate and certified yoga therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She is the founder of Seasons of Self, where she integrates clinical counseling, somatic awareness, and yoga therapy to support women in reconnecting with their cyclical rhythms and inner seasons.

    Christine’s work bridges psychological insight with embodied practice, helping women develop a deeper understanding of the nervous system, hormonal cycles, and the emotional landscapes that accompany different phases of the menstrual cycle and lifecycle. Her approach is grounded in the belief that the body holds innate wisdom, and that healing often begins through attunement, presence, and compassionate self-listening.

    Drawing from her training in counseling and yoga therapy, Christine weaves together gentle movement, breathwork, reflective inquiry, and psychoeducation to support nervous system regulation and greater internal coherence. She views cyclical awareness as a pathway toward living in greater alignment—where one’s energy, relationships, and environment can support rather than override the body’s natural rhythms.

    Christine’s presence is warm, steady, and trauma-informed. She creates spaces that honor the complexity of being human and supports women in returning to themselves with clarity, self-trust, and care.

    She is based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she offers counseling, yoga therapy, and cyclical living programs through her practice, Seasons of Self.

Process Group FAQs

Still have questions? Take a look at the FAQ or reach out anytime.

    • A small, consistent group: the same participants meet regularly over a defined period of time to build trust and continuity

    • Facilitated and held with care: sessions are guided in a coaching capacity by a psychotherapist and yoga therapist to explore lived experience in real time—relationships, identity, grief, desire, and growth

    • Relational at its core: your reactions, patterns, and needs are explored in connection with others, not in isolation

    • Present-moment focused: attention is placed on what’s happening now, not only on stories from the past

    • A different relational experience: a space to be seen, heard, and responded to with intention, care, and curiosity

    • Process over outcome: rather than aiming for fixes, the group explores how you show up when you’re seen—how you take up space, protect, open, or connect in relationship

    • Healing happens in relationship: being in circle reduces isolation and reminds you that your story is not meant to be carried or alone

    • Less self-blame: shared reflection helps soften harsh inner narratives and increases self-understanding

    • More embodied presence: attention is brought to sensations, emotions, and the here-and-now experience

    • Greater relational ease: patterns can be explored gently, leading to more authenticity and connection with others

    • Builds on individual therapy: group work complements one-on-one therapy by offering lived, relational practice

    • Space for solitude within the group: time is included for inward listening, reflection, and discerning what is yours

    • Practicing relational expression: you’re invited to bring inner experiences into relationship—not to fix them, but to be met with care

    • An opening for change: what once felt too heavy to hold alone can be shared, softened, and seen in community

    • Boundaries, voice, and self-trust: exploring how you express needs, say no or yes, and relate to your inner authority

    • Transitions and identity shifts: making space for uncertainty, change, and evolving senses of self

    • Nervous system responses: understanding and working with patterns such as freeze, fawn, fight, and flight as protective strategies

    • Relational presence: practicing how to stay connected to yourself while being in connection with others

    • Trauma-informed and consent-based: sessions are paced to support safety and choice

    • Real-time relational insight: patterns that appear in relationships can be noticed and explored as they emerge

    • Shared humanity: being in the group reduces isolation and shame by showing you aren’t alone in your experience

    • Facilitated as a coach, not a counselor: the group is guided to support exploration, and relational growth, rather than providing counseling or clinical treatment and a diagnosis
