Yoga for PCOS, PCOD, and Irregular Periods
Struggling with hormonal imbalances or irregular cycles? I share simple, gentle yoga flows designed to help you balance your hormones and regain regularity naturally, right from home.
If you are facing hormonal imbalance, these simple but powerful asanas can make a big difference. This video demonstrates Malasana (Garland Pose), Titliasana (Butterfly Pose), and the Malasana walk, all of which you can practice daily to support your body.
Namaste. In this video, I explain and demonstrate a yoga sequence specifically for irregular periods. By holding poses like Malasana and practicing Balasana (Child's Pose), you can help calm your system and encourage a more regular cycle.
Period pain can be very difficult, but yoga can provide natural relief. This routine includes gentle poses like Malasana and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) to ease cramps and reduce discomfort during your cycle.
Titliasana (Butterfly Pose) and Malasana (Garland Pose) are two of the most effective poses for women's health. Practicing them daily helps reduce stress and improves blood flow to the pelvic region, which is key for regulating your periods.
This video shows a combination of asanas I teach for PCOS, fertility, and irregular periods. It includes Devi Asana (Goddess Pose) and the Cat-Cow stretch to open the hips and release tension in the lower back and abdomen.
Here is a gentle yoga kriya (a set of practices) that is very beneficial for managing PCOS and PCOD. The sequence includes variations of the Butterfly Pose, both seated and reclined, to relax the pelvic floor and calm the mind.
This is a simple daily practice for anyone with PCOD or PCOS. The routine focuses on Titli Asana (Butterfly Pose), a seated forward bend, and a gentle Bridge Pose to improve flexibility and support reproductive health.
This chart shows five effective yoga poses I recommend for irregular periods. It includes Downward-Facing Dog, Bow Pose, Butterfly Pose, Garland Pose, and Camel Pose, all of which help in balancing hormones.
About Yoga for PCOS & Irregular Periods
Rather than heavy cardio which can sometimes stress the body further when your hormones are fluctuating, we focus on targeted pelvic-floor releases and hip openers like Malasana and the Butterfly pose. These movements improve blood circulation to the reproductive organs, helping you manage PCOS symptoms and reduce period pain from the comfort of your living room.
Managing PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) or irregular periods isn't just about weight loss. It is about understanding how stress affects your endocrine system and using movement to calm your nervous system. In my online sessions, we move away from high-intensity workouts and embrace a 'slow-flow' approach.
Why these poses work
- Malasana (Garland Pose): This is one of the most effective poses for opening the hips and improving pelvic blood flow, which is essential for regulating menstrual cycles.
- Titliasana (Butterfly Pose): By working on the inner thighs and pelvic region, this pose helps release stored tension and improves overall reproductive health.
- Pranayama (Breathwork): Hormonal health is deeply connected to stress. Techniques like Nadi Shodhan (Alternate Nostril Breathing) act as a reset button for your nervous system, lowering the cortisol levels that often exacerbate PCOD symptoms.
What to expect in our classes
My classes are held live on Google Meet, so you are never just following a pre-recorded video. We stick to a consistent routine because regularity is how you see results. We combine 15 to 20 minutes of restorative asanas with specific breathing exercises. You do not need any fancy equipment—just a mat, a cushion, and a commitment to show up for yourself. Whether you are dealing with painful cramps or irregular dates, we work through it together with patience and consistency.
