If you experience fatigue, trouble sleeping, bloating, constipation or diarrhea, headaches or backaches, food cravings, joint or muscle pain, mood swings, irritability,, anxiety or depression, you may be experiencing the symptoms of PMS.
Poor nourishment, stress, exhaustion, excess physical exercise, inactivity, overwork all contribute to PMS. Slowing down through restorative yoga allows us to reconnect with our internal rhythms and instead of pushing and going, going, going, we can rebalance the imbalance of energy in your body.
Each month, through the process of menstruation a woman’s body is cleansed and rejuvenated. Any toxicity that is accumulated in your body is released. If your body stores toxins, you are more like to experience severe PMS symptoms.
This restorative yoga practice will focus on restorative yoga poses that relax the reproductive organs, ease digestion, encourage gentle elimination of toxins and gives your nervous system a chance to rebalance. Restorative Yoga can be extremely helpful for PMS because it will help you retreat inward and replenish your energy.
