Every month, period pain turns productive days into struggles for countless women, marked by cramps, swelling, and emotional rollercoasters. As we celebrate the strength of girls on National Girl Child Day, discover how simple yoga routines can reclaim comfort and vitality during menstruation.
Science backs yoga’s power: it triggers endorphins, nature’s analgesics, while enhancing circulation to melt away tension. Experts recommend soft, restorative poses over vigorous ones to avoid strain, fostering relaxation in the pelvic region and beyond.
Balasana tops the list for instant relief. From a kneeling position, surrender forward, arms stretched, forehead grounded. Breathe deeply for 1-2 minutes, releasing back strain and inviting tranquility amid chaos.
Supta Baddha Konasana opens the hips beautifully. Recline, join feet soles, let knees drop. Hold for up to 10 minutes, feeling blood flow ease cramps and bloat.
Apanasana is a digestive savior—draw knees to chest on your back, rock side to side. It banishes gas and knots swiftly.
Dynamic Cat-Cow on hands and knees syncs breath with spinal waves, boosting endorphins, easing lower back pain, and stabilizing emotions.
Supta Matsyendrasana’s twist detoxes internally. One leg crosses over, gentle press—30-60 seconds per side—to diminish swelling and twist out discomfort.
Make these a habit for fewer symptoms and sustained energy. Prioritize gentleness; if symptoms worsen, seek medical advice. Empower your cycle with yoga’s timeless wisdom.
