Thank you for joining me today and I hope you have a wonderfully relaxing and balanced weekend! Peace, Aprille 💓
I've done this one several times now, and it's just amazing how much relief it gives every time I need it. You are a precious jewel! Thank you 💚🙏💚
I am so glad it helps! May you have a beautiful day and thank you for joining me! Peace, Aprille 🙏💕
I love all your classes. I do your meridian target classes every morning either before or after my vinyasas. It really helps to bring my mind into my body especially days I feel like I am just going through the motions, bit this one popped up on the right day and time and helped immensely when I didn't even know I needed it! Thank you🕉️☯️☮️ NAMASTE
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed this practice! Would you like to see more meridian classes, perhaps in the 30-40 minute range and if so... Do you have ones you would like to see first? I would love your input! Thank you for joining me today and have a great day! Peace, Aprille 🙏💕
Thank you so much for this class, Aprille! I love how you guide our breath, I find it necessary in order for me to relax and many times, if I have no breath guidance, I do feel relaxed but I cannot completely let go. Also, after all these months of practicing yin yoga, I finally managed to go into half reclined hero pose! This modification was what I needed. I have shared this class within the endometriosis group that I am a member of. Thanks again for the lovely opportunity to relax and get some relief. xx
You're so welcome and YAY for finding a version of half reclined hero pose that works for you! Thank you SO much for sharing - I really appreciate it. Wishing you the very best week ever - Peace, Aprille
@@YogaRangerStudio you're very welcome! xx :)

Wow! Thank you! I was feeling very exhausted and out of emotional balance due to PMS。 i feel better now. ❤️🙏
You are very welcome and I hope you continue to feel better today. Thank you for choosing to share your time with me today and I wish you a beautiful day! Peace, Aprille
I needed this greatly. Thank you so much for sharing this practice.
You are so welcome! I have a new practice coming out on Thursday related to this one if you need more : ) Thank you for joining me and have a great week - Peace, Aprille
That was a lovely practice, thank you so much. I'm actually in those few hours just before menstruation starts, but this class worked fine for this as well. Anyhow, could you maybe film a practice specifically for menstruation? There are many of those out there, but I just love your approach, your classes are so well researched/knowledge based, your voice is so soothing and you're just such a calm presence. Have a wonderful day and thank you again :)
This class works for both before and during; however, I do have a class coming out soon for painful periods though which might help as well. Thanks for joining me and for you very kind and supportive words! Peace, Aprille
Wowza! I actually found myself shouting "ahh!" and "oof!" out loud getting in & out of some of these postures 😂 Thank you for the reminders to honor your body's abilities in the moment... I had an unusually difficult time accessing many of these poses today when I'm normally quite mobile. Guess that means I needed this that much more, AND needed to invite some nurture & surrender in (rather than the self-judgment that we all know is way too easy)!
Our bodies change so often from day to day, week to week. I think it's okay to make sounds coming out of poses so shout what you want (good to let go of some tension too) - it's YOUR practice, right? The cold weather combined with the energy of the new year is definitely affecting a lot of people's mobility. Take care of yourself, rest, relax and enjoy what you can do which is amazing! Peace, Aprille
Thank you so much for this practice, you’re so sweet and calm; it’s an absolute pleasure and a gift to practice with you 🤍 Subscribed!

This was a great practice to keep my hormones in balance eventhough I am in the menopause phase . It released tension in my hips and lower back. I feel more calm and relaxed.
Thanks so much for sharing this yin yoga class.
Have a beautiful day!
Linda
Perfect use of this practice. Hormone balance practices work for PMS and menopause equally - helping relieve tension in the hips and pelvis and balance the endocrine glands here. Thank you for joining me and have a lovely evening! Peace & Namaste, Aprille
Of the body&its connection with mind...God bless u& takecare... Love-rubeena...🌻🌻🌻
Thank you for your lovely words! Have a wonderful day. Peace, Aprille ❤️🙏🏻🤗
I'm deeply grateful for this, thank you thank you thank you!x
You are welcome and thank you so much Antonia! I hope it helps! Have a lovely day....Peace, Aprille
Happy Friday Aprille and Lucy: Even though I am way past PMS and PMT (almost 10 years into the M -menopause phase), I am looking forward to doing this practice. Though menopause has a lot of ups and downs, I think the PMS/PMT I went through in my late 30s and through 40s was much harder that week before. Wish I had you back then, but you are holding my hand through the next chapter in my life. Hugs and ❤️
Denise, this is not only a good class for PMS and PMT but works to bring balance to your hormones for menopause as well. This practice is focused on balancing the Liver meridian which has either stagnant or excess chi which is related to hormone imbalances for women. Its also a great class for overall tension and anger as an unbalanced Liver meridian can result in excess anger and frustration. Enjoy! 🤗💗 Aprille
This was such a lovely gentle class that felt so comforting and gave me some relief from the pain i was feeling. It allowed me to soften more deeply. Thank you Aprille 🙏💖
I am so glad this practice helped and I wish you a sweet and restful day! Thank you for joining me! 🙏🙂
Love this practice
So glad and thank you for practicing with me!
Thank you 🙏🏽
You are very welcome! 🙂
I really needed this! Apparently, my hips needed this far more than I realised! Thank you, Aprille. Oh,and I like the new opening music!
I feel like hips are the area most needing some attention! Glad you enjoyed this and thank you for sharing your time with me! Hope everything is going well for you lately. Hugs my friend! Peace, Aprille ❤❤❤🙏☺
I feel like hips are the area most needing some attention! Glad you enjoyed this and thank you for sharing your time with me! Hope everything is going well for you lately. Hugs my friend! Peace, Aprille ❤❤❤🙏☺
Love this practice so much. Deeply healing 😊💚
Thank you and I hope you have a beautiful weekend! 🙏😊🤗
This was just wonderful. I am on day one of my period, and my back is in so much pain. I have been having horrible PMS symtoms for two weeks! Which unfortunately is not unusual for me. I've been unusually angry and having horendous food cravings, so I am hoping with time this will help my next cycle not be as awful. Thank you.
I truly hope you feel better - I know how difficult moon cycles are and I hope this practice helps relieve some of that. Check out some of my Liver meridians practices as well as the Liver meridian helps balance cycle hormones. I also have a practice for anger (again the Liver meridian) which might help some. Sending healing thoughts and thank you for joining me today! Peace, Aprille
The Yoga Ranger Studio with Aprille Walker thank you so much. I will check those out for sure. 💜
thank you April, I love your practices
So glad! Thank you for your words and for joining me today for practice! Wishing you a wonderful week - Peace, Aprille
Aprille, once again you have saved me from excruciating pain. Thank you so much for all of the work you put in to help us get some relief!

hello beautiful! i have premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and the last month I did this practice and i felt better, because i was full depressed.. i am very grateful! but now I wanted to ask you about a practice that induces the period. I wait your answer, thank you!!!
Hello Sol! Thank you for joining me and I am happy to hear this practice helped! When you say “induce” do you mean the whole cycle or the bleeding phase?
I am on a menstruation date but I have a delay. From stress I feel that I have my unbalanced hormones. I have premenstrual symptoms. Which of your videos could help me reach my period?
There aren't any known practices or poses that will induce menstruation but if you believe it is hormone related and/or stress, try some from this playlist. These are meant to work with the endocrine system as a whole. ruclips.net/p/PLEANtQwT0VrKbTliK5fjHMISz4jSaMHOG
I LOVE the Tao te Ching! Thank you for sharing it :) did this one, but have only had about 6 cycles in the past 2 years; if I dod it daily- might it help them get regular at all? Or is this just something to chop up to all the traumas my body has gone through this time around?
It could be the traumas have had an effect on your cycle and it could be hormonal imbalance, food, exercise and/or stress too. Have patience with your body as it heals and be super kind to yourself - your body often just needs support to return to balance. Wishing you healing my friend and have a great day! Peace, Aprille
Relief
Thank you for joining me and I am SO glad it brought you relief! Have a wonderful day! Peace, Aprille
Thank you so much for this nurturing practice. I was wondering, how far in advance of your period starting and how often might you recommend this session for PMS? In gratitude...✌🏽🧘🏽♂️💕💕...
Whenever you start to feel emotional and physical change is a great time to start this practice. I usually feel this around 4-5 days before. Some people have said they practice every month 2-3 times during their cycle and it provides wonderful relief and grounding. Do what feels intuitively best for you though. Thank you and have a lovely day! Peace, Aprille
Hi aprille;) does this yoga sequence help with PMS induced insomnia ?! Am suffering with this either before or during or at the end of the period and it goes away but takes a toll on my health!! I always believe in yoga and meditation practices so thought I wil ask you if this would sequence would help ?
This practice is about regulating hormones so for PMS induced insomnia it could help. I might also suggest heart focused practices especially around your cycle to help you sleep better (the heart meridian is related to good sleep). Peace, Aprille
@@YogaRangerStudio wow thanks:) so should I look for ur heart meridian focused practices ?!
Yes. Enjoy!
Thanks aprille ♥️
Both my husband and I loved this, even though neither of us have PMS! Just a few questions:
I can do 3 part breath easily when supine---but not so much in the twist after flying dragon. It just seems too difficult to breathe deeply/slowly/in three parts when twisted. Am I the only one who has this issue?
Sphinx is a comfortable pose for me, but doing the tipsy frog leg placement definitely changed the dynamic for me. When I did it with the right leg bent, I felt that a lot more weight was being transferred to my left arm. It wasn't that my leg was uncomfortable, just that I wasn't equally bearing weight on both arms because my pelvis had shifted. Would it be better for me to just do regular sphinx?
In the supported one legged saddle, I felt that the femur of the bent leg was internally rotating, rather than remaining straight up and neutral. Can't tell if it's a muscular issue that I could eventually change to some extent or a skeletal issue that is just inherent. Any thoughts?
Loved that you instructed to do the supine shoelace bringing the legs down and closer in. Many instructors say to hold the legs out and away as if it's a motorcycle. For a lot of us: ouch! But I do like to work on my piriformis since I've had some bouts of sciatica. Should I go for a more maximum stretch?
Sorry about all the questions, but this is actually progress for me to have my mind quiet enough to notice some of these subtle things. Years ago when I started yin I barely could focus on anything but my runaway thoughts" "get me out of it! I can't take this! Why am I doing this?"
It's a great class for anger and frustration too but even better for good Liver health overall! Glad you both enjoyed it!
3 part breath does become more challenging in a twist but with time and practice, it will become easier and it will lengthen your torso more so you can twist more deeply from the core. Try pulling up through the crown of your head in the inhales and twisting in the exhales. The breaths might not be as deep but that's okay!
If the Tipsy Frog didn't hurt, then you are fine with the shift of weight. Just be sure to keep the knee in line with the hip, ankle in line with knee and foot slightly flexed position. If it hurts, then Sphynx would definitely be a better choice OR Half Frog on your belly with this same position except head down and turned to the side.
Thanks! My hips prohibit a wide position for Shoelace and much of my research shows that because we are all built differently, there is no reason to assume it is okay for all of us to take the feet super wide (unless you feel comfortable doing that). If you are comfortable doing both, I would practice both ways to get the benefits. I find the feet closer together gets more of my piriformis for me personally but again, that may differ for you. Play with your edge and test which one works for you each time. You may need one version today but the other version tomorrow! Keep in mind in Yin we never go for the maximum stretch but for the 2/3 + version. You want to come into the pose until you feel tension or stretch and hang out there and maybe as you go you find you can deepen it or maybe not.
In Half Saddle your bent leg can be internally rotating if your heel is on the outside of the hip (that's pretty natural for most people). If you take the version where you actually sit on your heels, then the leg would be in a more neutral and straight up position. Which feels better for you? Which gives you the deepest stretch? For me, I have natural internal rotation so this pose is quite comfortable for me. I have clients where internal rotation is VERY painful so they opt to sit on their heels.
I hope that answers our questions and I am happy you asked them! I enjoy people engaging with the practice and really checking in and sensing their experience. I love that you are exploring all of your Yin pose experiences!
Have a great evening and thank you so much for joining me! Namaste, Aprille
Thanks, Aprille, for such a quick and thorough reply. I will use all your suggestions. Yup, my heel is definitely on the outside of my hip in saddle. You are very much appreciated.
😘❤️
Have a great weekend! Peace, Aprille 🤗🌞
Hey sweet kitty 🐱😘😘💗💗💞💕💞💖💕
🙏🤗😍
Can i do this for pcos?
Absolutely! This practice was a requested on to help with the emotions, discomfort of periods overall.
what is pmt when i google was pmt fincies
Kate, PMT is another term for PMS (tension instead of syndrome). : )
What if you don't have a bolster? 😥
ruclips.net/video/dAUbqLcBZWo/видео.html Here's a video on DIY propping. You can also just use throw pillows from your sofa and/or pillows from your bed (2). The video guides you on wrapping them to make them firmer as a bolster replacement.
