Yoga offers numerous health benefits, from strengthening muscles to alleviating symptoms of chronic disorders, making it a holistic approach to healing both the body and mind. Every year, International Day of Yoga, celebrated on June 21, highlights the importance of incorporating yoga into our daily routines for overall well-being. For women, yoga can be particularly beneficial in managing various stages of life, such as reproduction, menstruation, and menopause, which are all influenced by hormonal changes. Issues like disrupted menstrual cycles, early onset of menstruation, and prolonged menopausal transitions can lead to conditions such as fibroids and adenomyosis.
Here are some yoga poses that can help alleviate these issues:
Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose): This seated posture opens the hips and stimulates the pelvic region, helping to alleviate menstrual discomfort and promote circulation to the reproductive organs.
Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutation) and Chandra Namaskara (Moon Salutation): Surya Namaskara boosts vitality and strength, while Chandra Namaskara fosters introspection and emotional balance, together promoting hormonal equilibrium.
The Healing Walk: This involves walking with hands raised above the head and palms facing outward. This gentle exercise enhances internal communication within the body, reduces muscle tension, and promotes overall well-being.
Hanumanasana (Lord Hanuman Pose): This split pose stretches the hamstrings, groin, and hips, enhancing flexibility and circulation in the lower body. It also stimulates the reproductive organs, promoting overall pelvic health.
Vajrasana with Vajra Mudra: Sitting in Vajrasana while holding Vajra Mudra helps balance circulation, stimulate blood supply, and channel energy in the Vajra nadi, promoting overall health.
