Follicular Phase Yoga

Explore the best yoga poses tailored for the follicular phase of your cycle in this detailed guide. Covering days 6-13, this video offers a selection of yoga practices designed to enhance your energy and balance as your body prepares for ovulation.

What happens in the body

Cycle Days: 6-13

Hormones: Estrogen levels begin to rise, stimulating the growth of new follicles in the ovaries.

Energy: Energy levels gradually increase, making it an ideal time for more vigorous and strengthening exercises.

Mood: You may notice an improvement in mood and overall motivation.

How to Practice

Adapt your practice to suit your energy level and the specific phase of your menstrual cycle. Each session is designed to support your body’s natural rhythms and enhance your overall well-being.

To get the most out of these yoga sessions, consider the following approaches:

Sequential Practice: Move through the poses in the order provided, holding each for 1-3 minutes with deep, mindful breathing.

Circular Rounds: Repeat the entire sequence of poses 3-5 times, gradually increasing the hold time for each pose.

Focused Practice: Dedicate your session to one specific pose, exploring it in depth to build strength and flexibility.

Restorative Flow: For a more relaxed practice, move slowly through the poses with extended holds, using props if needed.
