Do you ever feel a bit sluggish and tired in the week before your period? As estrogen and progesterone start to drop, so do our energy levels. # This is time when you might feel a bit moody, bloated and your skin might breakout a bit. During this time in my cycle, I try not to push myself, unless I’m really feeling up to it (like during last weekend’s yoga teacher training 🧘🏽‍♀️. Instead, I focus on restorative yoga flows, lots of slow pacedsun salutations and brisk walking (I can’t get away from walking, living in London!). # Do you notice a difference in the type of exercise you’re drawn to in the week before your period? # P.S. Here I am getting extra restorative with my breath work😂 . . . . . #knowyourcycle #exerciseforyourcycle #periodtalk #periodpositivity #menstrualhealth #menstrualcycle #menstruation #hormonehealth #womenshealth #hormones #periods #eatlovemove #keepitsimple #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #colorsofyoga #blackgirlyoga #blackyogi #blackyoga #blackyogis #nutritionist #nutritionaltherapist #estrogen #progesterone #oestrogen (at London, United Kingdom)

There’s a point in our cycles where we feel so full of energy, like we can conquer the world! Can anyone relate to this? # This is usually happens around day 14-16 of our menstrual cycles when we ovulate. We’re at the peak of our powers and it’s the point when our estrogen and progesterone levels are at their highest. # This is the time in our cycles when it’s great to go hell for leather into your hardest, most challenging class, turn the dial up to the hardest you’ve ever gone in your spin class or add a bit of extra weight in the gym. # Do you notice this surge in energy when you’re ovulating? . . . . . #knowyourcycle #exerciseforyourcycle #periodtalk #periodpositivity #menstrualhealth #menstrualcycle #menstruation #hormonehealth #womenshealth #hormones #periods #eatlovemove #keepitsimple #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #colorsofyoga #blackgirlyoga #blackyogi #blackyoga #blackyogis #naturalcurls #naturalista #naturalhair #nutritionist #nutritionaltherapist (at London, United Kingdom)
