A 75min Yin Flow for Anytime of your Moon Cycle

The Follicular phase (after menstruation in which oestrogen and testosterone start to rise) usually gives us a welcomed boost in energy and makes us feel more alert and focused. 

With this increased energy, it’s a good time to engage in a more physical practice that incorporates some type of strength or resistance training. HIIT workouts, dance cardio or maybe a power yoga class. 

It’s also important to ground ourselves and ensure we feel nourished going through the rest of the cycle, so make sure you balance this yang energy with some cooling yin energy.

Our neuroendocrine system (pituitary, pineal, and hypothalamus glands), is our body’s hormonal control system, and reads signals from our nervous system about how to behave. I designed this flow to specifically work on the nervous and neuroendocrine system, as well as the uterus/ovaries, to help naturally stimulate and restore hormonal balance. Yin Yoga is meant to be an introspective practice, which in itself, helps to rest and restore the nervous system and bring it out of “fight or flight mode,” so I invite you to soften into each pose, and breath deeply, to experience the fullest effects.

You can always pick 2 - 3 poses to transition you in or out of your day, or grab your mat and props, hit play on the playlist i’ve included and enjoy this delicious 75 minute Yin Flow.

*If you are in the menstrual phase of your cycle, heat a hot water bottle or heat pack and incorporate into some of the poses.
