Yoga for Period Cramps & PMS | Gentle Flow for Menstrual Relief

Keep a bolster or 2 pillows ready for this practice. ✨ To practice such flows on a daily basis, join our Daily Yoga Classes on the Satvic App: https://satvicyoga.org/dyc/?utm_source=sy_yt&utm_medium=desc&utm_campaign=yoga_during_periods&utm_content=v2✨ 🌸 Gentle Yoga During Periods | For Menstrual Cramps, Body Ache & PMS 🌸 Periods can be a time when your body naturally asks you to slow down, rest and take care of yourself. 🌿 In today's practice, we'll do a gentle, supported yoga flow designed especially for your period. Instead of intense movements or challenging asanas, we'll use pillows or a bolster to support the body and allow ourselves to relax, breathe and release tension. 🧘‍♀️ This soothing period yoga practice can be especially helpful when you're experiencing menstrual cramps, body ache, back discomfort, bloating, PMS or simply feeling tired and low on energy. 🤍 The longer, supported holds give you a chance to slow down and turn your attention inward. We’ll focus on gentle breathing, relaxation and being kind to the body rather than pushing ourselves.🌙 ✨This is a practice you can come back to during your period whenever you feel like your body needs some extra care. 🤍 You don't have to push through discomfort or force yourself into any pose. Simply find a comfortable position, breathe and allow your body to relax. 🌸 ✨Things to remember : 1. Practice on an empty stomach. Always keep a gap of at least 3 hours between your meal and practice. If you have had a fruit, 2 hours is good enough. 2. Wear loose cotton clothes while practicing. Please do NOT wear tight, polyester, dry-fit clothing while practicing yoga. Your skin needs fresh air as you get in and out of asanas. 3. Practice only as much as you comfortably can. Never try to force yourself into poses. Please remember to be gentle with yourself. 4. If you’re a complete beginner, it would be wise to keep a mirror next to you. This will help you observe yourself as you get in and out of asanas and allow to self-correct So get your pillows or bolster ready, find a quiet space, and give yourself permission to slow down. 🌷 You don't need to achieve anything in this practice.❤️ Just breathe. 🌬️ Just relax. 🧘‍♀️ Just be there for yourself. 🤍 With love, The Satvic Yoga Team 🌱
