Yes. Gentle, restorative yoga can ease cramps and lift mood. Many people simply avoid strong inversions if they are uncomfortable, and focus on hip openers and forward folds.
What yoga is best for PMS?
Slow, calming styles like yin and restorative yoga with deep breathing help most in the luteal phase, reducing tension, anxiety, and sleep disruption before your period.
