Hormonal Yoga

Hormonal yoga is a style of exercising whose aim is to harmonize and balance the hormonal levels in a human body. It includes exercising in selected conventional yoga asanas, specific breathing, concentration, relaxing and meditation techniques. As with other types of exercising, it can improve the state of health, the elasticity and flexibility of the human body and the mobility of joints. Moreover, it can detoxify the organism, accelerate our metabolism, improve the posture and the shape of the complexion, while supporting immunity. This yoga type mainly focuses on the activation and correct functioning of all hormones influencing the production of sexual hormones in the sex glands. It gears to human beeings suffering from hormonal dysbalances, mainly to women who are more willing to perform it. It can be good for women in the menopause to decrease its undesirable symptoms such as insomnia, hot flushes, irritability, nervousness, depression, emotional instability, memory loss, loss of vitality, urogenital dryness, incontinence, low libido and migraines. It may also help young girls suffering from premenstrual syndrome, painful menstruation, the loss of menstruation after they stop taking contraception pills, suffering from polycystic ovarian production, and from some causes of infertility (caused by hormonal imbalance or poor blood circulation in the pelvic area). It may help in thr case of the hair loss, brittle nails, dry skin and acne. As mentioned above, it is not suitable for women only. It may harmonize hormonal levels in men too, although for them this is not a very popular type of exercise.

Hormonal Yoga is suitable for women without health restrictions, too. The asanas of this project educational material, recommended and selected by the authors, are grounded on their own practice and lecturing experience, and on the theoretical knowledge of yoga. Still, authors cannot assume responsibility for wrong practising, if it takes place without an experienced guidance and supervision of the lecturer. In case of health problems, the authors recommend its practising after consulting the doctor. If any health problems occur during exercise, even if you follow the basic rules and recommendations of the asanas, consult them with your instructor or doctor.
