Craft your menopausal years to be truly Golden Years!
The ancients wisely saw the menopausal years as a rising of wisdom, grace, and optimal sense of self. While aging is inevitable, there is a science to how to age gracefully. In this course packed with nuggets of wisdom and practical application, you will explore the Ayurvedic approach to the menopausal years in a way that brings harmony to your mind, body, and spirit with six recorded sessions, and three communal LIVE gatherings. The LIVE gatherings are led by the expert, Vrinda Devani, MD, providing a space for further digestion of the material and sharing as a community.
Dr. Vrinda Devani has studied allopathic medicine in some of the best institutions in the country and Ayurvedic medicine in the classroom with Vasant Lad BAM&S, MSc and on the countryside in Nepal with Dr Saritha Shrestha. Her ability to bridge allopathic and Ayurvedic wisdom with extensive clinical experience has made her one of the most sought after speakers in the field.
You will leave this immersion feeling not only equipped to handle challenges of this phase of life, but also inspired to truly live into your menopausal years, truly rising as a Matriarch.
Topics we will cover
Join us for a virtual retreat of gathering, sharing, and learning about how the Ayurvedic ancients supported living into the best version of you during the menopausal years!
Session 1: The Rise of the Matriarch
Entering into the menopausal years is entering into the clairvoyance, wisdom, and freedom of the third and fourth stages of life, vannaprasth ashram and sannyas ashram’s. We will explore the ancient’s approach to these two stages of life, and how they unlocked the magic of the ether and air elements which are most predominant during this time.
Session 2: Graceful Aging
Have you ever wondered what exactly is aging? We will explore this natural phenomenon from both a Western and Ayurvedic perspective. You will learn about the hormonal and changes in the organs of the body, and Ayurveda’s three powerful antidotes to aging.
Session 3: Wise Eating
Ojas, the nectar of life, that which is the holder of integrity and grace in the body, the last product of digestion in the body. What we eat, how we eat, even how we cook is of utmost importance. We will learn the core principles of Ayurvedic eating, through the concept of rasayana (rejuvenation), for your menopausal glory, while also touching on proper elimination of wastes and its importance for optimal functioning of the body.
Session 4: Living Wisdom
How you move, how you sleep, how you connect with other beings from your heart, and how inspire yourself can either deplete and hasten the process of aging, or nourish and support graceful aging. We will explore these dimensions of life as appropriate to the menopausal years, as well as making space for the gathering of wisdom.
Session 5: The Elements in the Years of the Matriarch
The right balance of the five elements supports optimal functioning of the body. But how do you know if they are out of balance during this phase of life? In this session, we will explore just that – how to read your body to know which elements are out of balance, and then know what to do about it.
Session 6: Home Remedies
Despite eating and living perfectly, our bodies are in the end human and of nature, making it perfectly natural to have challenges. In this session we will explore home remedies to common challenges such as bone health, breast health, hot flashes, and more!

Meet the Teacher
AyurPrana Medical Director
Vrinda Devani, MD, CAP & RYT
Vrinda’s dedication to empowering women towards vibrant health and living shines through in her practice as a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, and as an Ayurvedic Practitioner. After studying under Vasant Lad, Vrinda followed this passion to Nepal, where she studied Ayurvedic women’s health with Dr. Sarita Shrestha. Vrinda believes in unfolding the human body’s potential through a blend of complementary and allopathic medicine, and so her approach to healing is always extraordinarily well-rounded and compassionate. If she’s not speaking or writing for various prestigious audiences on the intricacies of women’s health, you might find her in the middle of a flow, as Vrinda is also a lover (and certified instructor) of Ayuryoga.
