Of course Yoga can help with conditions such as PMS - the issue is which Yoga techniques. Pascimottanasana may well be one, but asanas designed to sublime energy, such as Uddiyana bandha (done gently of course), and especially sirsasana and sarvangasana are well known in tantric schools as must-dos for women at this time in their cycle. The whole issue of tantric yoga, femininity, sexuality, and childbirth is being presented in an intense 1-day workshop by our most senior female teacher Dr. Mihaiela Pentiuc - August 24th in Bristol, England. Email me for more information.

Downward facing dog is particularly helpful for me with warrior poses. Actually, every pose helps my body balance at "those times of the month." Mostly, doing yoga helps me sleep since PMS usually gets me wound up. If I can sleep, then I am not so tense, and that helps deal with PMS. Limiting caffeine and alcohol also helps.

Yes -- yoga does help me with PMS and with my mood in general. I feel calmer all day after I practice yoga first thing in the morning. Namaste!

stop saying so much , is like there is nothing more to find out for ourselves an others , is like everything is done by yogers and that people that do yoga . You are making people afraid , stop there is nothing wrong with premestrual simtoms and there is nothing wrong in not liking yoga , that is enough you are making yoga a fashion, you are spoiling all the beautty that it did had . Stop confusing people , not enerything is a bout yoga

I find a gentle restorative class benefits me most during my period. Extended Child, Janu Sirasana, and Supported Savasana are all helpful for me.
