15 MIN YOGA FOR YOUR PERIOD | gentle yoga flow for menstruation

Whenever I'm on my period, gentle movement and yoga always helps me to feel less sluggish and takes my mind away from just focussing on the pain. So this yoga flow is designed to do just that! You're welcome to practice this on your bed or on your mat - just get comfortable in your space and enjoy taking some time to care for yourself during your bleed / menstruation. This was a heavily requested video, so let's get gently moving and grooving!

*UPDATE:* a lot of you wanted a longer and slower version of this class, and I've just uploaded it!

[hayleyaspen]

A longer version of this with the same poses but longer holds would be amazing!

Finally got my period after nearly a year of missing it (due to weight loss), this was such a calming way to be proud of myself for how far I’ve come. Thank you so much for this <33

i got my period yesterday and i felt as though it ruined my planned week of workouts. today i decided i'd change it up to accommodate me rather than push myself. this was perfect. it was the perfect amount of gentle for my second day (which is always my heaviest). thank you olive! i'm planning on doing more of your routines this week! 💗you are truly a blessed individual <33

This was literally the best thing I've done for myself in a whole month. Thank you so much for this!

[QueenCiindy]

I am almost in tears as I have just completed this on the 1st day of my cycle. I am so proud of me. This was beautiful. Thank you.

hello Olive, i love your movement! it was really helpfull and relaxing! the only sad thing for me was that you was changing too fast for me. i had need this sequenze for 30 minutes :D but thank you so much! ilove this .

[leighcharman]

Wow! I’ve never felt as though my period was a beautiful time until now. This was so gentle and therapeutic. Thank you

[LainyBrainy]

Hello Olive! Loved the sequence of movements here in this practice. I suggest longer holds and a much slower paced flow next time so we can really feel each pose and dive into it a bit deeper. I find that slower yoga flows or even yin yoga flows work best for my menstrual phase

Im not even on my period yet, it starts here in a few days and I always find that my period symptoms are the worst a week before my cycle and the first couple days of my period. This helped so much with the stiffness in my body and even my nausea! thank you is much for this! <3

[kakemartini]

This was so lovely and really helped me relax and reset into my body (especially when I feel like I'm at war with it during my flow).This helped the pain and discomfort a ton. Thank you so much <3

I'm a person who lovessss physical exercise, especially weights, but when I'm on my period all I want to do is gentle movements to keep me flowing and help my digestive system. This was just beautiful, your voice is so calming and we have the same name :)

this was so needed after a day of cramps, didn't even realize how much tension there was still in my body until i released it. flow is so good

[ishbautista]

for the people saying this is too fast - play it at 0.75 - it's the perfect flow :) thank you i'm on day 2 and trying to be gentle with my body this was so therapeutic

[verenhartansa]

I don’t know what to say besides thank you Olive!!! I got my period just now after following your yoga last night. I am truly hopeless for a week, pregnancy scare is the worst😩 you girls will get your period very soon! Keep on believing your body.

[sirahhudson]

I can actually feel the energy vibrating in my lower back now, everything’s released thank you :)

[xinmalie]

thank you so much !!! I always had a very heavy flow so it was really annoying to deal with at school . But when I heard that yoga can help with period cramps I decided to try it . Im so glad that I clicked on your video .Thanks to you my period flow is much lighter now and my menstruation only lasts for 5 days or so (it used to be 7-8 days)

[hannahc]

Perfect timing for the morning of the first day of my period, I felt so much better after this! Thank you ☺️💛 also your voice is so calming I could literally listen to this to help me fall asleep

[samotnik]

Gender neutral period yoga. That was exactly what I needed today. My ferret even laid with me to check what I was doing :))

Sending lots of love Olive, you're doing amazing job 💖

[МилаШурупова]

this practice is soooo comfortable, thank you, you are so cute🥹🫶🏻
