Say goodbye to PCOS stress
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can feel overwhelming, but yoga offers a gentle way to bring balance to your body and mind. With regular practice, yoga can help reduce stress, improve hormone function, and support weight management. Here are six yoga poses that may help ease PCOS symptoms.

Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana)
This is one of the best poses for PCOS. Sit with your legs bent and the soles of your feet touching. Gently flap your knees like butterfly wings. This pose opens up the hips, boosts blood flow to the pelvic area, and helps regulate menstrual cycles. Breathe deeply and hold the pose for 1–2 minutes.

Lie on your stomach and gently lift your upper body while keeping your elbows bent and close to your body. Cobra Pose stimulates the ovaries and improves circulation in the reproductive organs. It also helps relieve tension in the lower back and promotes better digestion.

Move between arching your back (cat) and lifting your head and tailbone (cow) while on all fours. This gentle flow massages the abdominal organs, reduces bloating, and improves spinal flexibility. It also encourages hormonal balance when done regularly.
