Yoga for Menstrual Cramps - Gentle Yoga for Your Period

Try this 30 minute gentle hatha yoga class to ease period cramps and find relief while on your period.

Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. Today I'm bringing you a highly requested practice which is a yoga class that you can do specifically when you're on your menstrual cycle. If you're experiencing cramps as well as soreness in your lower back, I think you'll find a lot of relief from this practice. It's suitable for all experience levels and there are no standing poses. We'll stay close to the ground and keep things really gentle.

It might sound counterintuitive but doing some movement and stretching while on your period can be a great way to relieve cramps. Just make sure not to overdo it. Our intention is to honor our bodies and honor our cycles. Give yourself permission to do less, move slowly and fully relax your belly. Wear comfortable clothing and breathe deeply. No props needed.

I’m 1 week post laparoscopic total hysterectomy and needed something to get me moving again. Being a long time Kassandra follower I knew she’d have something! I may not have a uterus anymore but seeing as the same muscle groups are tender I thought this would be perfect. It was! Throughout the flow I found myself reminiscing about my past 32 years as a menstruating human, the good the bad and unfortunately lots of ugly. During shavasana, with my hands on my belly, I started crying happy tears because I finally knew that I had made the right decision for quality of life and this practice was the right way to say goodbye to this stage of my life. I just want to shout out all those out there struggling with reproductive system issues and know that we are all bonded, even if we don’t physically have our uteruses anymore, and you are not alone in your journey. We feel you! ❤️

Had such a painful night of cramps last night. Woke up this morning still in pain. I have a big exam today and not only did this help alleviate my pain and connect me to the divine feminine energy but also relax completely before my exam! Thank you Kassandra! This was a truly lovely practice.

At this time of month I am normally annoyed and agitated at the pain and hassle of my period. But at then end of this practice, bringing attention to this area, Brought renewed awareness of how we as women are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 119:14). Instead of annoyed, I ended this practice amazed at the complexity of our bodies and thankful.

Thank you so much! I have been having some discomfort during this month's period. I felt I needed some gentle yoga.I feel grateful that I found your video. I have been doing it the past 3 days. It has helped a lot with my achy abdomen and lower back. Highly recommended. Thank you and Namascar!

You are amazing. Thank you<3
You brought me into a state of rest and gentleness I forgot I had. I am only 22, but getting my period as a teenager was the worst thing, but now I honor it so much. It allows me to release deep and old emotions and to come back to myself, to feel sensual and yummy. Thank you Kassandra. My body reminded me that it needed to slow down and be nurtured. Being sick with a little flu type cold or something, I needed this reminder more than ever. Thank you for loving yourself and for sharing how you do so with the world on your wonderful platform here of YouTube. Thank you for taking me along your journey to relaxation and rest, and self-love.
I have one question that maybe you can answer. So in the squatting pose, I have trouble keeping my back straight, and therefore relaxing and settling into the pose. I am able to push my hips apart with my arms, but am not able to settle there. Any tips?
Once again, Thank you so much. Much love and Namaste <3

Thank you for doing this video, I have been in so much pain today and it has really helped❤

[natalieastle]

Just got my iud a few days ago and am dealing with cramps, this helped a lot to get me off the couch and moving a little. I typically do a lot of high intensity workouts so your channels a great way for me to ease back in instead of diving like I usually do.

[amberpetersen]

This was truly a wonderful, calming practice. Thank you ❤

[jeannaaaron]

Great set of postures. Thanks. Would it be possible to group all your period/menstrual/moon cycle videos together so we can find them easier? Thanks

[anaclaudiaxavier]

Kassandra brings it every time. Also, I love it when online teachers do shavasana with us.
