MOON YOGA
yoga for women
Moon yoga was created to liberate and inspire women to live in the cycles of the feminine. To move in flow with a cycle that is intended, by nature, for us.
It is a way of practicing yoga that connects to the needs of the female body. Instead of practicing yoga to the same intensity throughout the month, we pause, we listen and we adjust as we move through the month. Through yoga we come back to living in harmony with ourselves, helping to balance hormones, reduce PMS, counteract symptoms of endometriosis and PCOS.
Traditional yoga was created for men, by men and many asanas (postures) and sequences are tailored to the male body, leaving little room for the differences and the physical cyclical needs of the female body. The world around us works in a similar way, to add to this women generally feel a pressure to follow this rhythm, to keep up with the pressure of going at the same pace throughout the month. Instead, as women, we can learn to tune into the different energies we have throughout the month, so we can enjoy greater health and vitality. Here is where we can connect to ourselves and create a new way of being, one that works for us.
For a long time I suffered with painful periods, PMS, tiredness and low moods. Often feeling like I can’t keep up with the fast pace of the world we live in, especially during my bleed. I was often told I was too emotional, too sensitive and lazy. I didn’t understand how other women could continue the same during this time, often judging myself and feeling like there was something wrong with me for not being able to. I would dread this time of the month - the exhaustion and the emotional turmoil I would face. I was tired, I was low, I was disconnected with my cycle. I didn’t see all the magic that there was in being a woman. Working with my cycles though yoga awakened me to my WHOLE cycle - not just my bleed. There is something so grounding in embracing this rhythm. I used to see everything around me as constantly changing, and I was lost in it, but using this practice I have become grounded in predictably changing emotions and energy. I have reframed how I see my bleed and I honour my whole month, and myself with more acceptance and understanding.
