winter

Description: Menstruation, our inner winter, is a time to rest and restore. This phase starts from the first day of your bleed until the end. It is important to recognise zero hormone production, so the greatest gift you can give yourself is to slow down and turn inward.

Try to limit caffeine and drink our winter blend. Composed of ingredients like ginger, hibiscus and fennel to reduce cramping and heavy flow, moringa for building blood, and chamomile to nurture your adrenals. 

Lean into gentle yin yoga and meditation for day one. Then slowly, while listening to your own body’s wisdom, start introducing some gentle yoga flows. Focus on opening the hips and low back which can help with moving the energy in your womb, providing release.
