Yoga And Menstruation
Exploring the Connection Suggested asanas for Yoga and Menstruation Gomukhasana or cow face The cross-legged posture (sukhasana) Prana Dharana Reference

Gomukhasana or cow face

This asana helps to stretch most parts of the body. The muscles of the thighs and knees are toned and makes the practitioner agile and active.

Relaxation is a key factor while performing the asanas

Steps

Sit in a comfortable position as in padmasana.
Lift your right arm and bring it behind your back.
Bend the left arm to clasp the fingers of the right arm from behind. Slowly try to pull the arms and maintain this position for a few breaths. Relax.
Repeat the asana with the other hand.

To Sweett - yoga balances the hormones. A couple of my students experienced the same thing the first few times they took classes. My take on this is, the condition is not something harming. Please do check, 1. the dates, usually period dates is earlier or later 5 days 2. Energy level- maybe you are too tired, there was another strenuous activities occured 3. Maybe it's the Yoga- if anything, as I have said above, it is probably balancing your hormone or adjusting.

Keep yogaing! :))
