Yoga is said to be one of the best remedies for the mind, body and soul. But what some of you might not know is that it could also help relieve a lot of your period symptoms. A lot of us are\u00a0familiar with pain in the lower abdomen and lower back that comes and goes during or before our periods.<\/p>\n

We at Yoni are always on the look out for ways to sooth ourselves during\u00a0our\u00a0period. Especially when\u00a0we\u00a0are dealing with cramps but still\u00a0have to get on with our daily routines in the office or elsewhere. While we\u00a0understand that sometimes you’d would rather stay in bed or lay on the couch all day, movement can actually help to reduce cramps. According to Medical Daily<\/a> the less a woman moves, the worse the menstrual cramps can get.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Yoga with Yoni\u00a0\u00bb<\/h3>\n

So we thought we’d provide you with a couple of easy-to-do yoga poses to help relieve your period pains. And since Mariah was a professional yoga instructor and still is an active yogi we wanted to share a\u00a010 minute yoga session to hopefully help you get through your period:<\/p>\n

1. Cat Pose<\/p>\n

The cat pose allows you to stretch the back torso and the neck, while providing a gentle massage to the spine and stomach organs. This flow will send energy through your spine, increase blood flow and relieve anxiety.\u00a0This position is helpful to relieve constipation, which some women experience before or during their period.<\/p>\n

How\u00a0it works:
\nCome to\u00a0your hands and knees on your yoga mat or the floor. Bring your\u00a0hands underneath your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Take a deep breath and then lower your chin as close to your chest as possible, round your back like a cat. Then exhale and arch your back.\u00a0Repeat as much as you’d like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Tiger Pose<\/p>\n

Tiger pose is a very effective way to alleviate lower back pain (which you may experience during your period). It stretches and stimulates the spinal column,\u00a0helping to\u00a0relaxe the nerves in the lower back. It also helps stretching the abdominal muscles, flushing this area with blood, which can help to alleviate cramping.<\/p>\n

How\u00a0it works:
\nStay on\u00a0your hands and knees. Then\u00a0lift one leg up\u00a0towards the ceiling while arching your back and looking forwards. Hold your leg here for three deep breaths. Come back to your starting position and swap sides using your\u00a0opposite leg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. One-Armed Camel<\/p>\n

This pose focuses specifically on the abdomen. It\u00a0increases flexibility in the spine, stimulates the nervous system, opens the chest and shoulders, and improves circulation and digestion. Most of the time our spine is in a forward-leaning position that comes with sitting at a desk or driving a car. The spine is intended to move in both directions, so camel pose can help restore\u00a0its natural flexibility.<\/p>\n

How\u00a0it works:
\nFrom your knees, now come up and kneel on your yoga mat. Feel free to place a blanket under your knees. Place one hand on your lower back and start to arch back. If you feel comfortable you can add in your head and even move your hand to your ankle. If you feel comfortable, extend your other arm outward in the same direction, reaching as far as you can behind your body. Breath into your chest, inhaling and exhaling a few times, then slowly come out of the post and repeat on the other side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Arched Pigeon<\/p>\n

This position is dubbed the \u00ab\u00a0hip opener\u00a0\u00bb. It’s good for easing cramps, and can help to relieve tightness Brough on by stress and tension, making\u00a0you to\u00a0feel more relaxed. This pose\u00a0stimulates the internal organs, stretches the deep glutes, groins, and psoas \u2014 a long muscle on the side of the vertebral column and pelvis.<\/p>\n

How\u00a0it works:
\nSit on the floor with your right knee bent and your left leg extended behind you. If you feel stable, place your hands on your hips and gently tilt your back. Maybe even extend your arms upwards. Hold for five or more breaths, and then repeat on the other side. Note: if you know you have sensitive knees or you feel any (hot, sharp) pain in your knee, back off and feel free to skip this pose.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Reclining Twist<\/p>\n

This pose relieves pressure in the lower back and it’s a relaxing way to boost side-to-side spinal flexibility, which can further provide\u00a0relief in the abdomen\u00a0and lower back.<\/p>\n

How\u00a0it works:
\nNow come and lie on your back, and cross your left knee over to your right side. Extend your arms out wide, looking to the left. Hold for at least five breaths. Use your abs to lift your knees back to the center and repeat on the other side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. Wide Child’s Pose<\/p>\n

This pose elongates the lower back and opens up the hips, while allowing the belly to relax in between the legs. This stretch helps to reduce tension in the hips. This\u00a0pose also helps you to\u00a0relax.<\/p>\n

How\u00a0it works:
\nTo wind down your practice end with this pose. Place your knees on the floor, wide apart. Gently allow yourself to fold forward, extending your arms outwards in front of you. Rest your forehead on the mat or turn your head\u00a0to the side. Allow your arms to relax next to you if you want. Hold for as long as you want. Note: if you cannot relax in child’s pose, feel free to end your short practice sitting or lying down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
