The basic principles to be followed in a woman’s yoga practice for reproductive/ endocrine health remain the same at all stages of life. The menstrual practice, the practice during peri-menopause, practice for menstrual irregularities and dysfunctions, and even pregnancy, have to follow these principles to be efficacious.

These sessions are a mix of passive and active actions and asanas.  ‘Working with a soft abdominal area’ is the gentlest of the three sessions in the series, while ‘Deflating and Elongating the Abdomen’ is active abdominal work.  For the health of reproductive organs and the hormonal system, both of these are required.  However, a large part of the skill lies in understanding which approach should be used when.

Note:
This session is for learning the principles.  All parts of this session are not suitable to be done during the days of menstruation, during pregnancy etc. Please be attentive to cues about what is appropriate or otherwise during menstruation, during pregnancy etc
