Days 1-3 (Start of Menstrual Phase)
Giselle Rouvier
Exercise
10 min
A restorative practice for the first few days of your period.
During the start of your menstrual phase, the goal is to soften the body and mind. This session focuses on comfort and emotional release.
- Setup: You will need a pillow (or bolster), a blanket, and two blocks.
- Reclined Bound Angle: Lie back with the soles of your feet together, allowing your hips to open gently while you focus on deep, softening breaths.
- Knees-to-Chest: Hug your knees to release tension in the lower back.
- Gentle Twists: Move into soft spinal twists to help detoxify the body during menstruation.
- Restorative Reset: End with your legs up the wall (Viparita Karani) to support relaxation and circulation.
