What is hormone-balancing yoga?

Hormone-balancing yoga works as a holistic therapy method where we work physically and mentally with the body. Here, the yoga positions are designed to balance the endocrine system, especially the ovaries, adrenal glands, thyroid, and liver. We enhance the effect with the help of our breath, which provides an internal massage. We focus through visualization, mantra and breath and direct our energy to a specific gland or body part. We work from a holistic point of view with body, mind, and spirit. One major cause of hormonal imbalance is stress and therefore the yoga session is very calming and stress-reducing. I learned hormone-balancing yoga at MediYoga Institute in Sweden.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8074″ img_size=”600×450″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

What are the contraindications?

There are no contraindications doing hormone-balancing yoga. It is a soft and gentle for of yoga. Always listen to your body and rest whenever you need to. There are no real contraindications, but if you have had hormone sensitive cancer like breast or uterine cancer within the last 5 years you should always consult your doctor before practicing yoga for hormonal balance. If you are menstruating, pregnant or if you have any other medical condition like endometriosis or hypothyroid the yoga positions and breathing techniques must be modified.
