Yoga for Painful Periods is in honor of Endometriosis Awareness Month (March), where we have created 4 different video segments to address this common condition and the pain associated with it.
These videos offer easy-to-integrate and powerful mind-body medicine tools.
In the first video, Reduce the Pain of Endometriosis, we share research on the use of yoga as a tool to decrease endometriosis pain. We also teach you one breathing exercise to help you become aware of your inner body and move into the Relaxation Response (rest-digest and reproduce).
In video #2, learn about your fascia (connective tissue) and how the Fertility Ball Method®️ may be used for myofascial release, which helps to increase relaxation and circulation in the body and decrease pain.
The third video segment features Megan Murphy-Rouse, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner. She talks about the ways we can use food as medicine to reduce inflammation and pain and improve hormonal balance when navigating endometriosis.
Megan is a guest contributor for our Soulful Conceptions™ Programs and the creator of the Fertile Rhythm Roadmap™ (which is also featured in our 12-week coaching program). Learn more about Megan at rootvitality.com.
Besides diet/nutrition, how we live can have a significant impact on our levels of stress and inflammation. In the final video of this segment, we discuss lifestyle changes you can incorporate to improve your mental and physical well-being.
Here’s the great news: You can immediately incorporate these practices to improve your quality of life! They will help you better navigate the challenges of Endometriosis, as well as life’s other stresses.
In addition, local Los Angeles Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine – Denise Noyer-Erez L.Ac invited Wendy to be a part of another important conversation related to issues of Endometriosis:
