Welcome to our Feminine Flow yoga series!

This series is all about yoga for your period. In this series, I’ll be showing you how to align the energies of your menstrual cycle with different yoga styles and practices.

Today, I’m sharing a soothing restorative yoga class for the menstrual phase. 

Sometimes called the “inner winter,” our menstrual phase is a time of deep intuition, low energy, softer capabilities, and deep magic. If you don’t feel this magic around your menstrual phase, that’s ok! I’m here to show you how 🙂

In this yoga for your period session, we’re bringing some TLC to your abdomen and your womb, plus relieving some tension in the low back. Additionally, restorative yoga is the perfect way to soothe nerves, balance out mood swings, and reduce anxiety.

Through this series, I hope that you’ll be able to develop a more intimate and reverent connection with your menstrual cycle. There’s so much magic and wisdom to tap into through our bodies!

So let’s dive in!

Yoga for Your Period

45 min yin & restorative yoga

props needed: bolster, two blankets, strap

For my practice, I’m using my favorite sustainable yoga rug from Öko Living. These mats are ethically hand-loomed out of organic cotton and dyed with medicinal herbs. Plus, they come from a small women-owned business! If you’d like to grab your own yoga rug, use my code THELOCALMYSTIC to save $10 on your order.
