Yoga for Hormonal Balance and Women's Health
Gentle, therapeutic yoga designed to help you naturally manage PCOS, period pain, and hormonal fluctuations through mindful movement and restorative breathwork.
This graphic explains why yoga is an effective therapy for PCOS, detailing how it regulates hormones, reduces stress, and improves insulin sensitivity.
Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) is a key sequence for PCOS management as it improves metabolism and stimulates the reproductive organs.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) is beneficial for PCOS as it opens the pelvic region and stimulates ovarian function, helping to regulate the menstrual cycle.
Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) is a classic pose for women's health that enhances flexibility and increases blood flow to the ovaries.
Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) helps balance hormones by stimulating the thyroid gland and also improves digestion, which is often linked to PCOS.
An introduction to my yoga program for menstrual health, designed to ease period cramps, mood swings, and fatigue with gentle, targeted poses.
Child's Pose (Balasana) is a deeply calming pose that I recommend for relieving menstrual cramps and lower back pain by soothing the nervous system.
About this collection
My sessions are not about achieving a perfect pose or pushing through physical limits. For women's health concerns like PCOS or irregular cycles, we focus on restorative practices and specific breathing techniques to soothe the nervous system and improve pelvic circulation. When we work together, we will often use household props like cushions, pillows, or folded blankets to support your body, making every movement accessible regardless of your energy levels or discomfort on a given day.
A Therapeutic Approach to Hormonal Health
Many common women's health issues, such as PCOS, PCOD, and menstrual irregularities, thrive when stress and cortisol levels are high. My practice centers on the 'rest and digest' state of the nervous system. By using poses like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) or Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) in a supported, restorative way, we can improve blood flow to the reproductive organs and help balance estrogen and progesterone levels.
Why Virtual Therapy Works
Because I work with clients across different cities, all sessions are conducted virtually. This ensures you can practice in a space where you already feel safe and comfortable. If you are experiencing high pain or fatigue during your cycle, my trauma-informed approach allows for adjustments like turning your camera off or opting for a purely restorative sequence. This is about meeting your body where it is today, not where you think it should be.
Integrating Breathwork
Movement is only one part of the equation. Pranayama techniques, such as Anulom Vilom and Bhramari, are integrated into every plan to help regulate the autonomic nervous system. These simple breath practices are highly effective for reducing the 'fight or flight' response that often exacerbates period cramps and mood swings. We focus on consistency and small, gentle steps rather than intense, short-term fixes.
Anagha Yoga
I’m Anagha. I believe that yoga for women’s health shouldn’t be another source of stress or physical strain. My practice is about using slow, supported movements to reconnect with your body and gently address hormonal imbalances, not forcing yourself into postures that don't feel right.
