30 min Yin Yoga for PMS & Menstrual Cramps

Ease menstrual cramps and pms symptoms with this gentle 30 min yin yoga practice.

Hey yogis, this week's new yin yoga practice is for all the ladies who've requested a pms yin yoga class from me over the years! Sorry it's taken me so long to put this together!

This 30 minute yin yoga class is simple and restorative, great to do when you are feeling tired, sore or cranky. Whether you are about to start your period or currently on it and experiencing cramps, this practice should offer you some relief. The main focus will be on the low back and hips.

What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints.

There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose

Find your edge means respecting your body's limits and not pushing too far and risking injury. Pull back a little bit and as you hold the pose you will be able to go deeper into it without pushing too far or hurting yourself.

Being still means that once you are in the pose it is important to completely relax your muscles so the benefits can get into the connective tissues and joints. Try not to fidget or move or distract yourself, this is a meditative practice. Breathe deeply in and out through the nose.

Holding the pose means that in Yin Yoga a pose can be held for 1-10 minutes depending on the pose performed and on the comfort level of the student.

Idk how you were able to hold yourself up in that baby dragon pose for that long on one arm! Same with holding that hanging fold. I definitely needed to get out of those poses a few times 😅

[kizzypatterson]

This was wonderful it helped my back pain. And it is simple for beginners like myself

This was so healing and good for my period cramps. Thank you so much <3 this will be a definite go-to this time of the month

Thank you so much, Kassandra. I know it's been a while since you posted this one, so you may never read this comment, but your routine has been so very helpful. The pains have come down 90% since I started doing this and the bedtime yoga. Much appreciation! 🙏🏾😌😇

Due to my restless mind I find it difficult to finish yoga practices that are over 20 minutes long but not this one. Thank you also for being with us through savasana because many teachers end the video when savasana begins. This was great, thank you.

[juanitadupuy]

This felt so good. Thank you Kassandra

Perfect for the first morning of my cycle. Thank you!

[Angelas.Eye_]

Thank you so much Kassandra :) this is the first time I've come to your channel and I'm so glad to have found you. So comforting and loving when I (and probably many of us here) needed it the most <3

[amarahansen]

this was exactly what I needed today. Started my cycle last night after just experiencing a miscarriage last month. This practice helped to soothe my mind and body was well as open up my heart to trying again to be pregnant once my Flo is over. Thank you!

[nicolecaetanohombach]

Your an angel, thank you so much ❤️ I love all of your classes and this one is particularly helpful 😘

[josiefbetrand]

Today my cramps were so intense I had to lay down in bed with a warm pad on my belly. Would you recommend to do this practice when it's super heavy on cramps to alleviate the pain ? I did it later tonight since I could finally feel almost normal without the intensity of the cramps and it definitely felt good.

[morficity]

I love your videos and you are very beautiful. Namaste 🙏

[aprillepaalisbo]

Downloading... will do this later

Anyway, just had your 10 -min routine. It helped a lot! Thanks! ❤️

[agrant]

Thank you:) I started honouring my cycle more a few months ago with just laying low the first 3 days and only walking or doing Yin/restorative if it felt right. It feels so good to turn inward and let yourself off the hook for laundry, dishes etc and just resting! It has made my periods so much better and has lessened my cramps immensely. I used to always push through and still work out just as hard as the rest if the month. So this was the perfect addition to my new living in my flow:)

[FLOATINGAWAYSLOWLY]

I got so shaky in my legs when I bent into my standing forward fold. Also, I tried propping myself with my laundry basket during the Yogi squat and cracked it! Definitely gonna have my actual props nearby next time 😹🤦 Definitely feel better after this practice though and got a little laugh in. Namaste
