Managing abdominal and period pains.

Hello again,
Thank you for popping back!
 A while ago I asked some of you, especially my chronic illness pals, if you would like to know about how I use yoga to fight certain pains without overexerting body and worsening its condition and the pain in general. I have a fabulous personal yoga teacher who teaches me just that - so it seems only right to share this sacred knowledge!
This pose is honestly my favourite pose, because I can do it in bed whilst watching Netflix.
It's that easy.

This is the Pelvic Tilt (or Rock), with the tiniest of movement, it works your flutes and back; as well as strengthens the sacroiliac joint and lower abdominal muscles. It tones your abdominal muscles and can help fight bad period pains. So it caters to everyone's needs.
As you may know I suffer from horrific daily abdominal pain (IBS) so this pose is very fitting for me.

Simply lie flat, on your back with your legs bent and your arms out at your sides.
Press your back into the floor using your stomach as you exhale.
Hold for 5 seconds. (Count slowly - 1 pussycat 2 pussycat..)
Whilst inhaling, tilt your pelvis until an arch in your lower back forms.
There should be space between the ground and your lower back.
Hold this again for 5 seconds before releasing.
Repeat as often as you can however I stick to about 10 repetitions. It is also incredibly relaxing and takes your mind off the pain.

                                

Do listen to to my yoga playlist so you too can chill out to all my favourite yoga jams - I love Rain and Venus Eyes! How can you not love the sound of rain?!
If you're new to yoga then this is a great starter pose so do give it a try, even if yoga looks scary. I triple dare you so neeerrr. 
I hope this was helpful in at least someway and I hope you enjoyed the picturesque view of the New Forest.
Do let me know if you'd like more of these!
You can find more about my conditions within my about me, disclaimer and health diary page.

Have a fantastic week and a I hope you had the happiest of Easters!
