Hey guys! So, I wanted to update you all on my PCOS journey. It’s been a real ride, while some symptoms are under control, others still continue to persist. But hey, that’s life, right? The good news is that I’m in a good place right now, and I’m feeling good about things.
I’m still dealing with some PCOS symptoms, but I’ve found ways to manage them. And you know what’s been a game-changer for me? Yoga! and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually a certified yoga teacher now. Who would have thought, right?
Yoga has been a huge help in reducing my stress levels and improving my flexibility and strength. And as someone with PCOS, I’ve found that it can be really beneficial in managing the condition. It can help with hormonal balance and even target areas like the pelvic region and abdomen, which are often affected by PCOS.
Of course, yoga isn’t a magic fix for PCOS. It’s just one piece of the puzzle. Eating well and exercising are important too. But I’m really happy to have found something that works for me, and I encourage you guys to give it a try if you haven’t already.
Oh, and I wanted to add something else about my PCOS symptoms. So, as you guys know, irregular periods are a pretty common symptom of PCOS. And for me, that’s definitely been an issue in the past. I used to go months without a period, which was really frustrating and worrying.
Lately, things have been improving. I still get them on alternate months or even consecutive months, but it’s almost regular now. At least I’m not dealing with long gaps of 4-5 months between cycles like I used to.
I can’t say enough good things about yoga, a satvik diet, and regular pranayama! These practices have truly been life-changing for me. Yoga has not only helped me manage my PCOS symptoms, but it’s also helped me in so many other ways. It’s helped me become more mindful, more present, and more connected to my body. Plus, it’s just plain fun! I love trying out new poses and challenging myself to see what I’m capable of. Here’s a picture of me doing a Headstand. Check out my Instagram page, I’ve been sharing a lot of my yoga journey there.
And if you’re interested in taking online yoga classes with me, hit me up! I’m a certified yoga teacher now, and I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you.
And then there’s the satvik diet. Eating a diet that’s full of fresh, wholesome foods has been great for my body and my mind. I have more energy, I feel more alert, and I just generally feel better overall. Plus, it’s given me an excuse to try out all kinds of new recipes and ingredients!
And let’s not forget about pranayama. Regular breathing exercises have helped me manage stress and anxiety, which is so important when you’re dealing with a condition like PCOS. It’s amazing how just a few minutes of deep breathing can make such a difference in how you feel.
So, if you’re dealing with PCOS, I highly recommend giving these practices a try. Of course, everyone is different, and what works for me might not work for you. But I truly believe that taking care of your body and your mind is key to managing any health condition, and PCOS is no exception.
I hope this blog has been helpful for those of you out there who are dealing with PCOS. Remember, you’re not alone, and there are things you can do to manage your symptoms and feel better. Wishing you all the best on your journey!
