Thanks for watching! Let me know in the comments below your go-to remedies for PMS.
I never have menstrual cramps anymore since drinking rapberry leaf tea daily - and they used to be baddd.
Nice! I’m dabbling in herbalism so I need to give that a go! Thanks!
@@stefaniebeh706 do you notice any delay with your period when drinking the raspberry tea? I normally drink it 2 days before I know I’m going to start but when I do I’ve noticed it delays it. But you did mention you drink it every single day correct?
I loved the Yoga, but I didn't enjoyed the ad afterwards!
I really like how gentle you phrase your instructions... "When you're ready" and "if it feels good" and "I invite you to"... That makes the whole thing that much more soothing. I don't hurt anymore since drinking raspberry leaf tea, but I do get very tired and bloated and cranky. And now I just feel tired and bloated and serene. So thank you!
That means a lot, Stefanie! I try to be mindful to encourage people to decide what is right for them above all else.
I love her
🤗
everything in this video feels so accepting and positive, also, your voice is so calming :)
Thanks, Alexandra. That means a lot. 🥰
I think this is the first yoga video I can actually follow thru without getting lost or overwhelmed.. your voice is angelic and this set made me feel such relief on my first day of flow! looking forward to doing it again!
Thank you for your kind comment. I'm so happy this video brought you relief. 😊
Every first couple of days of my cycle, I always come back to this video. It helps with my cramping so much! Thank you!
Yay! I'm happy it gives you relief.
This was much needed during the first day of my period. So relieving and relaxing. Thank you, you are so appreciated x
I’m so happy it provided relief. 🤗 Be well!
Thank you so much for this. I started to realize my relief by the 3rd pose. Incredible
You're so welcome! I'm happy it brought you relief!
I'm on day 3 of my moon cycle and had just followed a pretty intense 20-minute exercise routine. The cramps started after a couple of minutes and I thought that maybe I could find a soothing yoga video to help me. I couldn't be more grateful for finding yours; thanks sooo much. I'm completely relaxed and the cramps fully disappeared right before the squat. Your gentle routine is a blessing and I feel calm and content with the connection I did with my body. Thanks!
You're so welcome! I'm happy this video brought you some relief and allowed you to connect with your body 🌒
My cycle usually interrupts my wellness routines and I was determined to find something to keep me active, daily. Thank you for sharing this practice with us. 💙
I'm happy this practice was here for you when you needed it, Brittany! Thank you for practicing with me. Be well!
So I am cramping and with the first pose/position (right hand on right foot working a pressure point) I felt immediate relief. Left side I felt decrease in pain. After I completed the entire session I felt better. I’d say I went from a 6 on the pain scale to a 3. Gonna do this 1-2 more times today (afternoon and evening). Thank you for sharing this natural way to ease my cramps. I also supplement with Dong quai and red raspberry leaf tea (if I don’t feel nauseated). 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm so happy this practice brought you relief, Blanche! Thank you for sharing your experience with it. And thank you for sharing the herbs/ supplements you use. Best wishes!
Your voice is so angelic! Loved this 🙏🏽 thank you
That's so kind of you. Thank you! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed this sequence. Be well!
I came to this video for relieve from menstrual cramps; loved your calm instruction. I went through the videos on your channel and I really appreciate your yoga niche! I will definitely recommend your channel if I speak with anyone struggling with fertility/PCOS issues. Thank you for being here!
Thank you. That means a lot. I appreciate your kind words. I hope your cramps are better! Be well.
One of the best ads I have ever seen. Genuine and authentic - not a sell out vibe. It made me what to explore the website for me & not another health”product”. Well done.
The yoga was also 👌🏼👌🏼
Awww, thanks. That means a lot.
@@emmam4863 🥰
Omg, your voice is so soft and calm! I love it!! Also thank you for this video! 🍎
That is so kind of you! Happy you enjoyed it! 🤗
I just did this on the first period since my last miscarriage. So so calming and just what I needed... thank you.
Oh, Lizzie. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m happy to hear this practice was calming and supportive. Sending you hugs.
Thank you for existing I cried when I saw your beautiful face. Finally I can follow someone who looks like me!
Nyla! Are you trying to make me cry? Your comment filled my heart with so much joy and warmth. Thank you for being here.
This was EXACTLY what my body wanted. Thank-you so much for some relief. Your instructions were so clear and calm I had my eyes closed the entire time, love your style!
I'm so happy to hear this brought you some relief, Leah. Your words made my morning! Be well!
@@LiveFertile you as well!
🤗
So amazing just found your channel and wish I found it sooner. This 15 minute session has relieved my lower back pain and I feel so balanced and relaxed.
I use double doses of magnesium in the run up to my period and during to help my cramps and I take liquid iron and vit c during my period to help with fatigue during mensuration.
With gratitude for such a wonderful video. Xoxox
So happy to hear it! And thank you for sharing your supplementation routine. It's always great when you find what works for you. Be well!
Thank you so much for this video. I've used it for about a year every month to help my pain and keep my hips more open. It has helped me realize how to better care for my muscles and pelvic bowl. It's relieved so much pain for me again and again. Truly I can't thank u enough for this flow!
You're so welcome! Thank you for sharing how this video has helped you find relief. I'm happy to be a part of your self-care routine. Best wishes!
flo gummies and hip opening yoga poses are my usual go to. Thank you for sharing this sequence!
Not familiar with flo gummies; gonna have to look into those! Thanks!
This was incredible. I feel so light after doing this. Thank you for such a great and peaceful practice!
I'm happy you enjoyed it, Rhea! Be well!
I have the flu and I was very tired then my period arrived and I was feeling awful and I have all this exams coming up soon and I tried to sleep and take painkillers and it didn't work but I'm really glad for this video it helped so much now I feel a lot better💖💖
I'm so happy to hear you felt better after this practice! I hope you get well soon.
I was having back pain from washing dishes and this helped, thank you! I don't have any pain anymore!
Yay! So happy to hear that!

Very kind of you, Celine. Hope you enjoyed the sequence. Be well!
I am not pregnant, and do not plan on having kids any time soon, but have subscribed and will keep checking out videos, because I really enjoyed this one☺️ So relaxing and gentle. Thank you so much, Kendra!❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for practicing with me. 🧘🏾♀
I have been doing your videos for over a month now every morning and i have no cramps at all anymore! Also die some diet changes. These videos really help me relax and feel more at ease in my body. Thank u ☺️❤️
So happy to hear that, Emma! Thank you for sharing! 🥰
I had to comeback and comment. I did this video yesterday when I woke up with some pms cramps and afterwards it’s almost like the pain just vanished. It was so bizarre but much appreciated 🙌🏽💓
So happy this video brought you relief. Thank you for sharing!
this was great !, its my first day of my period and im in pain and bleeding soo much and i just needed some yoga to relive some pain, thank you :))
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Menstrual cramps can be so painful. I hope you feel better soon.
@@LiveFertile yes feeling much better. tea and a hot water bottle really helps 😍😂
They help so much!!!
I just discovered your RUclips channel today and am very glad I did. Thank you for this and just your wonderful Being-ness and your Beautiful self! 🙏🏾🤗❤️
Hi Passi! I'm glad you found my channel too! Welcome!
@@LiveFertile ☺
Loved this practice! So relaxing and helped with my pain. Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️
Yay! Happy to hear that.
Thank you! I love the slowness and ease of this video. Made me feel much better.
You’re welcome! Happy you’re feeling better. 😊
Thank you that was lovely, although I luckily don't suffer cramps, I'm now working more intuitively with my body and instead of intense exercise when mensturating, as if nothing is going on with my body like I use to, I'm now pausing my intense workouts and doing gentle yoga, giving myself time to relax and be quiet. This is perfect thank you
You are very fortunate to not have cramps! I love that you’re tuning into the phases of your cycle and responding accordingly. Beautiful!
That's so awesome to hear that you've reduced your workout intensity. I'm a big fan of cycle syncing our exercise - do you practice that too?
@@CycleCoachAcademy Hi, what is cycle syncing your exercise? I'm super curious but don't know much about it and I'm not sure I've heard of it before
@@jezabeltokio cycle syncing is a method is match your exercise and food intake to the four phases of your menstrual cycle. It was a term coined by hormone expert Alisa Vitti. I have a few videos on cycle syncing on my page! Go check them out! Happy to answer any more questions you have. ❤️
love it thanks a lot - also doable in the morning since so quick :)
You’re welcome ☺️
I really love how you do yoga its easy to follow and crystalline
Thank you!
thankyou for this, all my symptoms, but particularly cramps have been getting so much harder every month for a while. This yoga really helped me to relax and definitely gave me some relief. I checked out elix, and it sounds amazing, but out of my budget sadly, definitely some interesting information though. One day hopefully.
Hi Lara! I'm happy this video brought you some relief. I hope you and your healthcare team are able to explore if there might be an underlying reason for your pain.
I also hope these videos and blog post provide some insight:

So happy it brought some relief! Be well!
You saved me this morning, thank you!!!
Awww! I'm happy this video was here for you when you needed it. You're welcome!
This is my go-to for my heavy, painful days
🥰
I have pcos and I find that yoga really helps. I'm so glad I found you, thank you for doing what you do! 💟
I love BeYou period patches- they're infused with menthol and eucalyptus and are very soothing throughout the day if I do have cramps. I also love raspberry leaf tea, red clover and milk thistle!
I'm so glad you found me too, Nicole! I need to look into these patches; they sound lovely. It's been awhile since I've had red raspberry leaf and red clover. Thanks for the reminder.
This was so nice for the first day of my period this month. I went off hormonal bc in February this year and I think this cycle is my first regulated one in years. Thank you for this.
You're so welcome, Maddie. I'm happy you enjoyed it. How exciting! I hope you have a lovely cycle (and many lovely ones to come.) Be well!
Thank you for sharing this yin practice. This morning I woke up to dysmenorrhea, something I hadn’t felt since Dec 2020. This calming, grounded, and restful sequence helped to release the symptoms and bring equanimity back to my body. Thank you, Kendra!
You're so welcome, Dianne. I'm happy this practice brought relief. Thank you for sharing!

WTG on the beautiful and nourishing yoga practice. This really helped me this morning on the 2nd day of my period and I just needed something to help me accept that it was okay to go slow today. This is a beautiful and simple yin yoga practice.

Super helpful/needed 😊
You're welcome! I'm happy it helped!
thank you, that was lovely 💞
You're welcome!
Hi Kendra, thank you for this gentle beautiful routine and the sensitive way of leading through it. I would like to ask for clarification, what is the point you are pressing on the foot - is it on top of the foot or below, so the Liver or Kidney meridian? I really like how you offer to incorporate some acupressure into the yoga flow. Thanks so much, this made me feel more relaxed and grounded this evening. 🙏
Hi there! Sorry I wasn't super clear in the video, it's the top of the foot at Liver 3. Hope that helps!
@@LiveFertile Yep, that's great. Thank you very much!! Warm wishes to you.
Excellent movement practice! I loved the forward fold with legs crossed. Thank you! I'll be sure to remember this movement in my next bleed phase!
Thanks! I'll be checking out your channel!
Live Fertile Awh! Cool! 💝 see you there!
this really really helped thank you x
You're welcome!
Perfect practice for Day 1! Thank you very much :)
Awww, thank you! 🤗
This was such a nurturing practice, just what I needed, thank you!

Hi Kendra thank u for reply n such a great information on weight loss,
You are so welcome!
you have such a calming personality!
Awww, thanks!
✨🙏🏾🌟This was awesome-thank you!!!
Thank you!
Thank you, I really enjoyed it. With love from Austria ♥️
Happy to hear it! Thanks for practicing with me. 🥰
this was so beautiful and relaxing, thank you so much!
So happy you enjoyed it! Be well! 🥰
Thank you for this!!!
You're welcome, Emma!
Hi it was so gentle that I love it 😻
What I didn’t understand is the first one where in suppose to press a bone in my feet could you please explain that one … I was folding my big toe don’t know if that’s the point or press in the hole between the toe and the index 😟
Hi there! Sorry it wasn't super clear. If you search "liver 3 acupressure point" on any search engine, you should find images that show approximately where to press. Hope that helps! Be well!
Thank you! This was lovely 🌙 :)
You’re so welcome! Happy you enjoyed it!
Hi Kendra Tolbert I'm following ur videos ,plz make a video on weight loss .I'm suffering with pcod n over weight plzzz🙏🙏🙏
Hi there! Thank you for your comment.
I choose not to focus on weight loss for a number of reasons but I understand that it is something many people are focused on. I recorded this video quite some time ago that might give you some insight into why I don't focus on weight loss with the people I work with: ruclips.net/video/xoqoKs_0Q0Q/видео.html
If you watch it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Be well!
❤ thank you for sharing
You're welcome!
Thank you for the session 💕
You’re so welcome. 🤗
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Lovely session! Do you know something similar to Elix in Europe?
Hi there! I don’t but I wonder if working with an herbalist or TCM practitioner and asking them to create a tincture or herbal blend would result in something similar.
thank you 🥰💖✨
You're welcome!
i found myself saying there was nooo way i could step into that deep squat and was so so shocked and proud when I actually could ☺️💗 i love the way you teach
Go Ashlyn! 🤗

Sister I am planning to do study on effectiveness of yoga for pms and menstruation.
That's exciting!
This yoga good for late periods
Hi there. You need to know why your period is late to know how to address it. Once you know the reason, you'll have a better idea of what will help. Be well.
Hiii
Are there any books you recommend for learning more about bodies and understanding our periods?
Hello! I link to some of my favorite resources for learning more about the menstrual cycle (including books) in the description box of this video: ruclips.net/video/BLUD2PA7D5g/видео.html
Hope this helps!
Hello, is this exercise also effective for eliminating menstrual irregularity and increased menstruation?
Hi there. No, it wasn't created to address that. Also, with menstrual irregularity, it's important to know why the cycles are irregular so the underlying cause can be addressed. If the underlying cause is something that yoga cannot help with (for example undereating, overexercising, excess alcohol intake, etc.) then practicing yoga won't help improve the regularity though it would still offer other benefits. Be well 🤗
