Riya Teotia

Knee-to-chest pose: If you are at the start of your period, this is a great pose to offer some relief without requiring too much active movement.

Apanasana

Child's pose: This is a bit more intense pose than other gentle poses, but it generates a lot of relief in the pelvic region.

Balasana

Supine Spinal Twist: With this gentle twist, you generate movement in your pelvic region, without it being too strenuous on your body.

Supta Matsyendrasana

Half Lord of the Fishes pose: Like Supine Spinal Twist, this twisting posture can generate movement throughout your midsection and offer you some relief from painful period cramps.

Ardha Matsyendrasana

Goddess pose: This is a great posture for opening up the pelvic region. But skip it if your period cramps are more intense.

Utkata Konasana

Revolved Triangle Pose: In this pose, you’ll continue to support the tissue in your pelvic region, stimulating blood flow to help relieve those period cramps or pelvic discomfort.
