When Swadhisthana Chakra, the chakra that determines your appetite for food, sex, and sensual pleasures gets blocked it may lead to PCOD, PCOS and all utero-ovarian and urogenital issues. When this chakra is unbalanced you may even experience fear, depression, insecurity, emotional instability, and reproductive issues.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder that affects women’s menstrual cycles due to an overproduction of male hormones (androgens), resulting in symptoms like missed or irregular periods, ovarian cysts, weight gain, excess body hair, acne, and dark skin patches. Insulin resistance is a common underlying issue, which triggers increased androgen production. This hormonal imbalance can disrupt ovulation and menstrual cycles. Managing PCOS often involves a low Glycemic Index (GI) diet rich in whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and low-fat dairy, as well as incorporating yoga practice to improve overall body function and reduce stress.
Discover the transformative power of the Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana) at Enlighten Yoga Center in Dubai. This gentle yet effective asana is particularly beneficial for managing symptoms of PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease). The rhythmic movement between Cat and Cow poses enhances spinal flexibility, massages internal organs and may help regulate menstrual cycles. It also reduces stress, a key factor in hormonal imbalances associated with PCOD, improves circulation to reproductive organs, and gently tones the core, strengthening the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles essential for pelvic health.
