Usually, I don't write anything on this blog. Neither do I reblog.

Today is not a usual day, people.

I've been remiss in my yoga practice for some time now. I decided to try yoga classes from teachers on Tumblr and reblog them.

I will start with my mutuals, of course. Tumblr Buddies are the best.

So it is Natasha Rose Yoga for you.

I did this one after meditation in the morning. So, I did the class as intended, and it was goooood.

I liked the class, and it lived up to its description: it is a class beginners can take. 

I really liked some sequences Natasha etched, especially using butterfly (baddha konasana) as a pivot to make some variations of child's pose and the seated twist, Lord of the Fishes Pose.

Finally, I am not an English native speaker, but this was by far the most sophisticated use of the English Lexicum in a yoga class I have ever encountered. So, go forth and brush off your vocabulary as you stretch your body. Double whammy, two in one class.

Final finally, this time for real: 

If you know other yoga teachers on Tumblr you like, please tell me: comment below, message me. I want to try more.

This daily stretch, yoga flow will open your whole body, help improve your flexibility, and just leave you feeling calmer and more connected to self.

I hope you enjoy,

Love, Natasha 🩷

I need some advice. I feel like I'm dying. Going through the worst period cramps ever (never had this in the past 11 years), it literally feels like someone is stabbing my cervix, uterine walls and the pathway walls (I feel a bit shy calling it what it is...like a normal woman). Its so bad, I've never had it like this before. Has to do with the fact I was having isues, doc put me on meds, as soon as the dosage was done: red sea spilleth over.

Know any home remedies to help? Or just any other advice to deal with this? Can't go to the doc rn, she'll suggest to hold off pain meds, I am taking over the counter anti-inflammatory stuff..yk the one for fevers and other pains. Its not working. Its been so debilitating...I can't sleep, sit, breathe, do anything...yk the type of pain that makes you bend and make your mouth water...idk if that happens to anyone else but yeah....

OMGGG 😩😨😨😓that sounds soooo rough, I hope you're feeling better now???

I have taken meftal spas for cramps since I was maybe 16-17 years old. Idk if that's available in other parts of the world??? but its widely available in India and its specifically for period cramp induced pain<333 I'm not a doctor so pls don't take any medication without exercising caution first!!! you may not react well to it or it may have adverse effects bc of the medication you're already taking ://// 😩😩

on that note, practicing yin yoga (which focuses on releasing stress from the hip area/psoas muscles) has greatly changed my reproductive system as a whole tbh, my sex drive changed, my relationship with my body changed (like even the way i walk changed bc my hips loosened up, which meant i walked more "freely" dont tell me its woowoo,, yk can just tell when someone's body is very "frozen" or "stiff" looking) and yesss my menstrual cycle was immensely affected by it.

i used to have HORRIBLE cramps, irregular cycles, HEAVY bleeding etc in my mid-late teens (this was because of trauma + eating disorder, in case u wanted to know) and now? my period is 3 days long, light bleeding, little to no pain and i attribute alllll of that to yoga<3

now i specifically like to do certain mudras and asanas (poses) which are supposed to help the female body specifically

and while this can help u when u are on your period, i suggest making it part of your lifestyle and living according to your monthly cycle's phases so that you can experience smoother periods. i dont think its realistic to do them if you're experiencing immense pain 😭

Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (Viparita Karani)

This pose is known for increasing blood flow to the pelvic region which helps enhance the health of your reproductive organs.

2. Baddha konasana aka butterfly pose

helps the uterus<333

3. balasana or child's pose

tbh this might actually help even if ur ON your period, lying down like this is soooo soothing and comforting. ppl overcomplicate yoga, when the reality is that holding your body in certain poses can emotionally feel very comforting/freeing/nourishing etc but then again im only familiar with yin yoga/restorative yoga (there are manyyyy different types of yoga)

4. happy baby pose

as the name suggests this is how babies lay down and they seem happy for no reason,, i remember the first time i consciously did this pose and i was like???? this is yoga??? bc i would randomly do poses like these for no reason in bed (im sure we all do when we're bored) and if i intentionally do it?? its actually good for me??

again this pose helps with the hip muscles!!! the female body is always preparing for childbirth. regardless of whether or not you want to be a mom, taking care of your womb health and reproductive well being is CRUCIAL bc whether we like it or not we were designed this way and dont think of it as "preparing my body to bear children" just think of it as "preparing my body to be at its best" (the bearing kids is just a bonus) .. the state of your womb affects your whole being!!! its not a joke!!!

now here's some mudras:

yoni mudra

yoni means womb and as u can see, this pose imitates the 🫣🫣 its a highly beneficial mudra for women and helps with overall pelvic health. you can do it sitting cross legged. i like to chant mantras and do this pose,, it kicks in quicker or smthng idk 😳but it feels ✨

2. prana mudra

do this mudra on both hands btw!!

prana means life force

this mudra helps with overall immunity and pain management!!!

3. prithvi mudra

prithvi means earth and this mudra helps balance the earth element in your energetic system which means its gives you strength, resilience and physical energy (in case u feel tired, fatigued etc for no reason) as those are the qualities of the earth

now for some pranayamas

Bhramari/ honeybee buzzing

this is my fav bc its so simple and easy to do!! and who doesn't want to buzz like a bee??? 🥰😍

2. anulom vilom

this is also a very simple pranayam for beginners

the whole idea is to get your body into a state of relaxation so that you dont operate from a place of stress or anxiety. you can just feel peaceful all the time. imagine being that unbothered!!

sorry for going off on a tangent (me with every post lmao) these are some beginner friendly yoga asanas/mudras/pranayamas (all of which are diff components of yoga) that u can try when u feel comfortable!!

NOW about alleviating pain ASAP:

hot water bag

put that thing on ur stomach and lie down (after taking medicine) my mom used to do this all the time and it helped her a lot

2. roobois tea

i drink roobois tea almost everyday hehe but its said to help alleviate menstrual cramps 🤔and lower blood pressure,,

3. chamomile tea

is also said to help with period pain :o

4. look into your diet, sleep, overall lifestyle

you may not have had pain of this sort before but babe NOW UR A WOMAN ✨and u have to look at your lifestyle and ensure that its something that helps a woman's body feel rested and calm

being stressed all the time can take a physical toll on you and lead to all kinds of diseases later in life!! its in your best interest to RELAX

idk how much this helped 😭😭the most convenient thing to do would be to take medicine but u said u can't so :((( hot water bag + roobois tea???

ALSOOOO always wear socks during your period and keep your feet covered. i have sensitive feet so i wear socks at home often (this is uncommon in india, where we have a tropical climate lmao) BUT KEEP THOSE FEET COVERED,, there's some kind of science behind it but i dont remember it lmao,, all i know is that it makes me bleed less<333 and have more cozy periods and sleep better<33

ALSOOOO,, this could be an old wives tale but it worked for me (but im also delusional😍) eating dark chocolate and/or having a spoon of oil on day 1 of your period makes your period go smoothly?? 😭😭😭there's no harm in trying hehe

ALSOOO and ive never tried this but heating up like a tablespoon of oil and applying it to the bellybutton area 😳😳can help alleviate period pain 😳😳

lastly and most importantly, im just a girlblogger and NOT A MEDICAL EXPERT so pls dont put urself in an adverse position bc of something i said 😭😭😭

love always,

heaven ✨

October 21, 2024.

Gravar no meio do campus havia se tornado uma atividade comum para Chai Ki-Seo. Para quem antes buscava de todas as formas se esconder para falar suas lamentações, histórias ou apenas expressar seus pensamentos, a Chai atualmente focava-se na ideia de que ninguém prestaria atenção em uma garota usando fones enquanto o campus estava tão agitado.

Deixou a bolsa transversal sobre o banco, sentando-se na posição baddha konasana na mesma superfície de concreto, tirou o gravador do bolso, deixando sobre um dos joelhos e antes de começar, bebeu um bom gole do iced americano.

— Gravação do dia vinte e um de outubro de dois mil e vinte e quatro. Não sei por onde começar, minha cabeça tá uma uma puta escola de samba.

Um riso fraco saiu por seus lábios, gostava de gravar ali, talvez porque o contraste entre estar em seu próprio mundo e observar a movimentação constante, fosse engraçado.

— Acho que quero falar sobre as minhas demandas acadêmicas hoje. Que por sinal estão me fazendo querer gritar. Porra, professores, peguem leve. Ou talvez eu só esteja com dificuldades em readaptar rotina mesmo. O que é bem provável.

Refletiu, respirando fundo ao se lembrar da quantia de coisas para entregar em uma só semana. Estava para enlouquecer com sua agenda pessoal.

— Hoje meu maior pensamento tem sido sobre o desenvolvimento dessa reta final de ano e, sobre minha relação com a música. Para ser sincera, trabalhar com organização de estoque ou ajudar com fichas de pronto atendimento não era bem o que eu esperava, mas acredito que seja uma tarefa igualmente necessária e tem me permitido aprender pra caramba porque pesquiso depois. A dispensação de medicações ao paciente é uma parada que demanda uma responsabilidade enorme, da qual eu não sei se ainda tenho como entregar agora, mesmo sabendo que tenho capacidade. Acho que pegar diferentes estágios é uma ótima ideia e é algo que recomendo a qualquer estudante, mas não sei se recomendaria começar já na área da farmácia hospitalar, com foco em pronto atendimento. Mas, meus próximos passos estão programados e essa vai ser só uma das tantas possibilidades nas quais quero me arriscar e, talvez eu tente explorar mais disso novamente algum dia. Admito que por estar habituada a ver meu pai trabalhando com farmácia de manipulação num nicho tão privado, não imaginava que o leque de áreas profissionais fosse tão grande assim.

Encarou o próprio copo, balançando para conferir a quantia de gelo ali dentro antes de beber mais de uma de suas bebidas favoritas mas, com dose extra de expresso.

— Estou pensando em voltar com conteúdos didáticos. No início do curso eu disponibilizava alguns conteúdos básicos sobre biologia, os quais me ajudaram pra cacete a ter um desempenho tão bom. Então, penso muito em voltar a fazer isso. Falar um pouquinho sobre nichos mais específicos parece legal. Tenho coisa pra cacete pra falar mas, o tempo tem sido curto, tipo, realmente curto, então deixo para outra oportunidade. Antes ir só... Ah, falei na live ontem. Caralho, fazer uma live é uma experiência meio doida, né?! Nunca pensei que aconteceria. Enfim, hasta la vista!

E essa foi sua curta despedida antes de desligar o gravador para retomar a sua rotina. Seria uma segunda-feira exaustiva, assim como o resto da semana.

✷ ──┈ 그녀의 머리 속에서 무슨 일이 일어나고 있는지 궁금한 적이 있습니까? 탐험해보자! ~~ㅋㅋㅋ ⓒ 𝗂𝖭 𝖱𝖤𝖠𝖫 𝖫𝖨𝖥𝖤, 𝖵𝖮𝖨𝖢𝖤 𝖱𝖤𝖢 ●

Femural Differences & Variations in Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose / Seated Hip Opener): From "The Science of Yoga: The Anatomy and Physiology to Perfect Your Practice"

[ritika-23]

Best Yoga Asanas for Stable Period Cycle:

1. Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog Pose):

Yoga's Adho Mukha Svanasana offers a variety of remarkable benefits in addition to helping you manage irregular periods. The abdominal muscles are stretched, which improves the functionality of the reproductive organs.

How To Do:

Put your palms and feet flat on the floor. Lift your body gradually into a 90-degree angle.As you strike this stance, make sure your face is downward. For a minute, maintain this posture. Exhale gradually, then return to your reclining position.

2. Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose):

The butterfly pose, or Baddha Konasana as it is sometimes known in yoga, is an excellent remedy for irregular periods. It helps with menstrual problems by increasing flexibility in the groin and hip muscles and promoting blood flow to the reproductive organs.

How To Do:

Legs in front, sit down on the floor.Allow your legs to slowly bend such that the toes of both legs contact.With your hands, hold your feet together. Your thighs should move in an upward and downward motion akin to a bird's wing. Although a little challenging at first, you can get better with practice. Exhale as you return to the starting position, relaxing your legs.

3. Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose):

When reproductive systems are working properly, such as in bhujang asana yoga, irregular periods can be lessened. Additionally, it enhances the functionality of your digestive system and opens up your chest to increase blood circulation.

How To Do:

With your stomach facing down, lie on the ground. Keep your legs together and your palms on the ground close to your face. Now, while exhaling, slowly elevate your upper body by pressing down with your palms.Stretch your neck as much as you can without making it uncomfortable. Keep your body in this position for a while. Gently retrace your steps to the beginning.

4. Dhanurasana (Bow Pose):

 The Dhanurasana supports period management by strengthening the back and abdominal muscles. Additionally, it efficiently increases ovarian stimulation and lessens menstrual discomfort. This yoga stance can be practiced regularly to get rid of all abdominal fat, which is a key contributor to irregular menstruation periods.

How To Do:

Keep your feet hip-width apart and place your hands on either side of your torso. Your stomach should be facing the ground while you lay on the ground. Fold your knees and lift your heels in the air gently. By raising your arms toward your hips, you can hold your ankles with your hands. Take a deep breath and slowly lift your knees, thighs, and chest off the ground to arch your body as much as you can. Try to touch your feet with your hands while leaning back. While pulling your legs, keep your head up. Hold this position for at least 15 to 20 seconds, paying close attention to your breathing the entire time. Exhale while progressively relaxing your body to return to the starting posture.
