Hormones are a funny thing, aren’t they?
When they’re in sync, we don’t worry about them.
When they’re not, well, it feels a bit like our bodies are betraying us, doesn’t it?
If you’ve been reading along for a while, you’ll know that there’s a lot that can be done to support hormone health with nutrient dense food and high quality sleep.
And what about exercise?
Exercise is an amazing form of self-care and stress management that, in combination with consistent sleep and eating habits, can help bring balance to hormones like estrogen, progesterone and cortisol.
And considering I’m more than halfway through my yoga teacher training, it would be remiss for me not to mention the incredible power of yoga to help balance hormones.
The physical practice of yoga is beneficial of course, to help balance cortisol and adrenaline levels, however I really want to share the power of yoga breathing.
Incorporating a few yogic breathing techniques into your day to day life can help reduce stress, which can have a positive effect on hormone balance.
Does the breathing technique help to calm you down?
