Bound Angle Pose – Baddha Konasana

Release of prostaglandins causes the uterus to contract resulting in pain and cramps during periods. Bound angle pose can provide you relief and also it stimulates the ovaries by making it a reproductive health power pose. If you’re feeling fatigued, spend some time in bound angle to revive your energy.

Reclined Bound Angle – Supta Baddha Konasana

You need this pose if you suffer from period-induced anxiety. Similar to bound angle, here you have to lean back instead of forward. It helps in fatigue, anxiety and headaches. Since you’re leaning back into the pose, your abdominal muscles relax which can help ease cramping.

Child’s Pose – Balasana

Child’s pose relaxes your reproductive organs and releases tension in your back, shoulders, and neck. If you feel ache in the muscles and joints during menstruation, you’ll enjoy doing this pose. Stay in it as long as you want as it calms your mind and relaxes the body.

Reclining Twist – Bharadvaja

One of the most popular poses for dealing with menstrual pain is the reclining twist. Your back and hips will get a great stretch (much-needed if you’re dealing with aches and pains from your period). Your digestive organs too get just as much stimulation due to the fresh blood flow from this pose.

Head to Knee Forward Bend – Janu Sirsasana

The stimulating effect of this pose on the abdominal and reproductive muscles are unmatched.  The head to knee forward bend supports your reproductive and digestive system, relieves anxiety, fatigue, headaches, menstrual cramps, and can even help soothe mild depression.
