Yoga for Hormone Balance
This Space to Breathe Therapy resource offers a gentle yoga practice for people experiencing hormonal changes or symptoms, while being careful not to promise that yoga can directly “balance” hormone levels.
Inside the full guide are six supported poses: Child's Pose, Bound Angle Pose, Bridge Pose, Legs Up the Wall, Reclining Twist and a final Resting Pose. Each can be adapted with chairs, cushions and a smaller range of movement.
The PDF explains that hormonal symptoms can have many different causes. Menstrual changes, perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, thyroid conditions and other endocrine concerns are not all the same, so yoga is presented as optional support for comfort, stress management and general wellbeing rather than a replacement for diagnosis or treatment.
There are sections on stress, sleep, mood, food, movement and symptom tracking, together with guidance on when persistent or significant symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare professional. The guide also challenges common overclaims around cortisol, “detoxing” and yoga directly correcting hormone levels.
A seven-day hormone wellbeing tracker gives readers space to notice energy, sleep, symptoms, mood and what genuinely helped. Reflection prompts can also help someone prepare for a conversation with their GP or another professional.
The guide finishes with a supportive message from Maggie and an evidence-informed note.
Until next time, give yourself space to breathe.
With love, Maggie
