Yoga for PCOS, Menopause, and Women's Health
Practical, therapeutic yoga designed for your hormonal health. We use props to make every asana accessible for your specific needs, from PCOS management to prenatal care.
With over 15 years of experience in prenatal yoga, I guide mothers-to-be through safe and effective practices. This session focuses on partner stretches and individual poses like lunges to prepare the body for a normal delivery.
Malasana, or the Yogic Squat, is a fantastic pose for prenatal preparation. In this group class, we work on increasing elasticity in the groin, which can make childbirth easier and more comfortable.
This dynamic flow combines Paschimottanasana and Halasana to help with weight loss and hormonal imbalance. It's a powerful sequence that stimulates the abdominal organs and thyroid gland, promoting better metabolic function.
For those facing fertility issues, I teach powerful asanas like Mandukasana (Frog Pose) and Ushtrasana (Camel Pose). These poses increase blood flow to the pelvic region and can improve the function of reproductive organs.
If you suffer from PMS or have tight inner thighs, this 10-minute yoga flow can provide immense relief. The sequence includes Malasana variations to open the hips and ease discomfort associated with PCOS and PCOD.
Menopause brings many changes, but yoga can help manage them. This clip from a group class shows asanas that improve flexibility, strengthen muscles and bones, and alleviate common symptoms like hot flashes and joint pain.
Here, I demonstrate a sequence of 8 yoga poses specifically for women's health. We cover movements that help with everything from PCOD and infertility to mood swings and stomach cramps.
A regular morning yoga practice can naturally balance your hormones. This video shows a morning flow from one of my group classes, designed to regulate the endocrine system and improve your mood. Batch timings are also included.
During menstruation, it's important to practice restorative yoga. This sequence includes gentle twists and seated poses that encourage you to connect with your inner world and ease menstrual discomfort.
If you are planning for a baby, incorporating hip-opening practices like Mandukasana (Frog Pose) is highly beneficial. This pose enhances reproductive health by improving blood circulation to the pelvic region.
About Yoga for Every Woman
I do not just teach poses. In my Andheri West studio, we use Iyengar-style wall ropes, wooden blocks, and wheels to hold therapeutic postures longer. This is not about perfect flexibility for social media, but about providing the support your joints and organs need to help regulate hormones like cortisol and thyroid levels naturally. Consistency is the only way to see the changes you want.
I started 'Yogasadhana' because this practice was the one thing that helped me rebuild my own strength. I am not interested in 'Instagram-perfect' poses. Whether you are dealing with PCOS, thyroid issues, or trying for a baby, the sequence of your practice matters far more than how deep you can stretch.
Clinical and Prop-Based Approach
We use wall ropes, chairs, and bolsters because they are tools to help your body heal, not obstacles. We track your medical blood reports at the start and review them every three months to ensure the practice is actually helping your body.
Specialized Care for Every Phase
- Hormonal Balance: We combine asanas for pelvic strength with pranayama for stress reduction. This helps target symptoms of PCOS, PCOD, and menopause like hot flashes or mood swings.
- Prenatal & Garbh Sanskar: If you are pregnant, I offer trimester-specific support. We focus on pelvic floor elasticity to help you prepare for labor and use mantra chanting to help you connect with your baby.
- Therapeutic Focus: We don't guess. We use proven techniques to help you feel stronger in your own body. If you have been struggling with irregular cycles or infertility, we focus on poses that increase blood flow to the pelvic region, like Mandukasana, to help your system recover.
Show up three times a week. That is all I ask. If you are ready to put in the work, I am here to guide you.
