Mornings in Dubai can be intense. Between early work hours, school drop-offs, and trying to squeeze in a moment of self-care, it’s no surprise that many women feel off-balance. If you’ve been dealing with mood swings, fatigue, irregular cycles, or unexplained anxiety, your hormones might be calling out for attention. The good news? You don’t need an hour-long yoga session to start restoring that balance.
A quick, focused 10-minute yoga routine can help support your endocrine system, regulate stress, and improve hormonal health. At Pratimoksha, we work with many women in Dubai who are managing busy lives and experiencing hormone-related symptoms. This simple sequence has become a favorite among our Women’s Wellness clients because it’s short, easy to follow, and truly effective.
Why Hormonal Balance Matters
Hormones play a critical role in how you feel, function, and flow through the day. They influence everything from your sleep cycle and energy levels to digestion, mood, and reproductive health. When out of balance, women often report symptoms like bloating, PMS, brain fog, hair thinning, or stubborn weight gain.
While food, sleep, and lifestyle changes are important, yoga adds a powerful layer of natural regulation by calming the nervous system, supporting thyroid and adrenal function, and improving blood circulation.
The 10-Minute Routine
You can practice this sequence right in your bedroom or living room. All you need is a yoga mat, your breath, and 10 minutes of intention.
1. Seated Deep Breathing (1 Minute)
Start in a comfortable seated position. Gently close your eyes and focus on deep, slow breaths. Inhale for a count of four, exhale for a count of six.
- Why it helps: Activates the parasympathetic nervous system and lowers cortisol levels.
2. Cat-Cow Pose (1 Minute)
Move into tabletop position. Inhale and arch your spine (cow), exhale and round your back (cat). Continue for one minute with gentle breathing.
- Why it helps: Stimulates the pituitary and thyroid glands, supports mood and metabolism.
3. Child’s Pose with Focused Breathing (1 Minute)
From tabletop, lower your hips back into child’s pose. Rest your forehead on the mat. Breathe slowly and deeply.
- Why it helps: Promotes relaxation and gently massages abdominal organs.
4. Bridge Pose (2 Minutes)
Lie on your back with knees bent, feet hip-width apart. Inhale, lift your hips; exhale, lower. Repeat gently or hold for longer breaths.
- Why it helps: Stimulates the ovaries and thyroid gland; strengthens pelvic region.
5. Legs-Up-the-Wall (3 Minutes)
Sit sideways close to a wall and swing your legs up. Rest your arms by your side and breathe.
- Why it helps: Encourages lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, and calms the mind.
6. Seated Meditation with Alternate Nostril Breathing (2 Minutes)
Finish seated. Use your right thumb to close your right nostril, inhale through the left. Close the left nostril, exhale through the right. Continue the pattern gently.
- Why it helps: Balances left and right brain hemispheres, supports endocrine harmony.
Make It a Daily Ritual
This 10-minute yoga flow can be your daily reset. Many women in Dubai have found it helpful before the workday begins or as a wind-down routine before bed. It doesn’t demand perfection. What matters is consistency.
Some of our clients at Pratimoksha report improvements in mood, sleep quality, and menstrual regularity within a few weeks of daily practice. It’s a small time investment for a big return in hormonal wellness.

At Pratimoksha, our Women’s Wellness Yoga Therapy programs are personalized to meet each woman’s unique hormonal profile.
