🌸 WOMEN’S HEALTH WEEK - THAT’S A WRAP! 🌸

We’ve spent the week exploring five simple but powerful ways we can care for ourselves:

🎤 TO FUEL - nourishing ourselves with what gives us energy and supports our health.

🎤 TO MOVE - celebrating movement that feels good, supports strength and mobility, and meets us where we are.

🎤 TO REST - remembering that rest isn’t something we need to earn.

🎤 TO BREATHE - creating space to slow down, regulate, pause and reconnect with ourselves.

🎤 TO CONNECT - because our health is also supported by community, conversation and knowing we don’t have to do it all alone.

A huge thank you to our beautiful Asha community for sharing your stories and conversations around the importance of health screening, regular health checks and looking after our health proactively. 💗

And thank you to all of our incredible teachers and staff for bringing the themes into your classes, meditations and conversations throughout the week, and for sharing your knowledge and personal insights.

🌿 And don’t forget your accountability wall!

Those personal goals and health checks you wrote down at the beginning of the week are still there as a little reminder to follow through.

Maybe it’s booking that screening you’ve been putting off.
Maybe it’s making time for rest.
Maybe it’s a daily 5min meditation.
Maybe it’s finally making that GP appointment.

Whatever you wrote down - this is your reminder.

Your health matters.
Your wellbeing matters.
And you don’t have to wait until something feels wrong to care for yourself. 💕

Thank you for making Women’s Health Week at Asha Yoga so meaningful. 🌸

Welcome to Day 5 of Women’s Health Week 2026, where we shine a light on the positive impact of relationships and community.

Connection is an important part of good health. Feeling connected to friends, family, neighbours and community can support our mental and emotional wellbeing, build resilience and help us feel a sense of belonging.


Jean Hailes for Women's Health Croydon Main Street

Loneliness can affect anyone - even when we are surrounded by people. Life changes such as becoming a parent, moving house, retirement, relationship changes, caring responsibilities or simply being busy can all affect our social connections.

The good news is that small moments can make a difference! You don’t need a huge social network; meaningful, supportive relationships matter most.

Tips for building and maintaining friendships:

🫶🏼 Reach out first - send a text or make a quick phone call
🫶🏼 Schedule a regular coffee, walk or catch up as part of your routine
🫶🏼 Join a local community group, sporting club, class or hobby
🫶🏼 Find shared interests - yoga, gardening, books, cooking, etc could all be opportunities to connect
🫶🏼 Be present - listen, ask questions and show genuine interest in others

Connection doesn’t have to be complicated.

Reach out.
Make time.
Let people in.

💭 Who in my life makes me feel most supported, and how can I reach out to strengthen that connection today? 💭

Welcome to Day 4 of Women’s Health Week 2026, where we dive into honest conversations and practical support for women’s mental wellbeing.


Jean Hailes for Women's Health Croydon Main Street

Today, Thursday 10th September, is also R U OK? Day.

This is an Australian initiative which aims to raise awareness about mental health and encourage people to check in with their loved ones by starting a conversation.

R U OK?

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Women can experience changes in mental wellbeing across different life stages, influenced by hormonal changes, relationships, work, parenting, caring responsibilities, grief, life transitions and the emotional load of everyday life.

For women who care for children, ageing parents, partners or loved ones, the demands can be particularly intense.

Carer burnout can happen when the needs of others consistently come before your own, leaving little time for rest, connection or recovery.

You may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, anxious or disconnection from yourself.

Supporting your mental health isn’t selfish - it helps you sustain your capacity to care for yourself and others 🩷

Small steps can make a difference:

✨ Ask for help and accept support when it is offered
✨ Talk to somebody you trust about how you’re really feeling
✨ Move your body in a way that feels good
✨ Make time for activities that are just for you
✨ Notice when you are reaching your limits and give yourself permission to say no
✨ Seek professional help if feelings of overwhelm, anxiety or low mood are persistent and affecting everyday life

You don’t have to wait until you are burnt out, or rock bottom, to take care of yourself.

Welcome to Day 3 of Women’s Health Week 2026, where we explore the power of REST, sleep, downtime and regulation.

Rest is not something we have to earn. It is an essential part of Women’s health. Our bodies and minds need periods of recovery to restore energy, support immune function, regulate hormones, strengthen memory and concentration, and maintain emotional wellbeing.


Jean Hailes for Women's Health Croydon Main Street

For women juggling work, family, caring responsibilities and the mental load, it can be easy to stay in “go mode”. Building small moments of downtime and nervous system regulation into the day can help the body shift from stress and alertness towards a calmer, more restorative state.

Examples include sitting outside and noticing your surroundings, or enjoying a hot drink for 5 minutes without your phone.

Good quality sleep supports physical, mental and emotional health, yet sleep can become more difficult during different life stages like early motherhood, perimenopause and menopause.

Here are some simple ways to support positive sleep:
🌙 Keep a regular sleep and wake time
🌙 Get natural sunlight early in the day to support body clock
🌙 Move regularly, but avoid vigorous exercise before bed
🌙 Bs mindful of caffeine
🌙 Create a screen-free wind down routine before bed
🌙 Keep your bedroom cool, dark and comfortable
🌙 Avoid relying on alcohol to help you sleep

Rest is not laziness.

Downtime is not wasted time.

Recovery allows us to come back to our lives with greater capacity, resilience and energy.

You might like to reflect: “What is currently draining my energy the most, and how can intentionally protect my time to rest?” 💭

Welcome to Day 2 of Women’s Health Week 2026.

Today we are focusing on the power of MOVEMENT!

🚴🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🏌🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Regular physical activity is one of the best ways women can support their health and wellbeing throughout life. This becomes particularly important during perimenopause and menopause, when changes in hormones and ageing can affect muscle mass, bone health, cardiovascular health and pelvic floor function.


Jean Hailes for Women's Health Croydon Main Street

To move well in life, women need a responsive pelvic floor and deep core that coordinates with breathing.

This core unit needs to have strength to activate and stabilise the spine and pelvic organs, while also being able to relax fully.

For further support and education around pelvic floor health, bladder, bowel, prolapse or pregnancy issues, we highly recommend the team at Pelvic Strength in Croydon ✅

So ladies, make movement part of your life… rather than another job on your to-do list.

💪🏼 Choose activities you enjoy
💪🏼 Strength train regularly to maintain muscle and bone strength
💪🏼 Include balance and mobility work (all our classes Yoga Studio in Croydon VIC tick this box!)
💪🏼 Exercise with friends or join a group to make movement social and enjoyable
💪🏼 Include pelvic floor and deep core exercises, focusing on both activation and relaxation

Regular movement can help women maintain the confidence and function they need not just for today, but for the decades ahead.

So have a think for a moment…

💭 How can I bring more joy and less pressure into the way I physically move my body this week? 💭

Welcome to Day 1 of Women’s Health Week 2026!

This year’s theme is “Do It Anyway”.

Small steps for your health still count - even when life feels busy or messy. Remember, you don’t have to do it perfectly to do it anyway!

Join us over the next 5 days as we explore realistic, practical ways to support your health, one small step at a time.


Jean Hailes for Women's Health Croydon Main Street

Day 1 of Women’s Health Week 2026 focuses on

NUTRITION: Fuelling our bodies.

This is more about nourishing our bodies, not striving for perfection. Eating a balanced variety of foods provides the energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre your body needs to function well, and can help reduce the risk of chronic health conditions.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.

Small, sustainable changes can add up over time.

Think about what you can ADD to your meals rather than take away - an extra serve of veggies, some protein at breakfast, a piece of fruit or handful of nuts for a snack.

And keep in mind, your nutritional needs change throughout life, so what works for you in your 20s may look different during pregnancy, post partum, perimenopause, menopause or later life.

If you have specific dietary or health needs, always seek out the advice of a trusted professional like Women’s Health Dietitians

We highly recommend every woman visits the Jean Hailes for Women's Health website and completes a quick, easy “Her Health Check”.

This is a free online tool that tells you which health checks you might need and when to get them.

It has been developed in consultation with health professionals.

Speaking of health checks, are you up to date with your breast cancer screenings?

Women are invited for free mammograms every 2 years once they turn 50. Mammograms are also available through your GP at an earlier age if you have family history or cause for concern.

BreastScreen Victoria have a local clinic in Croydon so be sure to book in if you are due! They take 10 minutes.

We have two dear members of our Yoga Studio in Croydon VIC community who have been personally impacted by breast cancer. Their message is clear, early detection can be life saving 🩷
