Yoga Menstruation - The cross-legged posture

The cross-legged posture (sukhasana)

This is an ideal posture to calm yourself and turn inward. This posture increases the blood supply to the pelvic region. The rate of respiration and metabolism decreases in this posture.

Steps:

  1. Sit in a cross-legged position. Keep your spine erect.
  2. With hands on your thighs, place the feet beneath the knees.
  3. Close your eyes and relax all parts of the body.

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! :))
