By helping to create space in the groin and pelvic region, this is a great pose for relieving the pain caused by menstrual cramps.

HOW TO DO THIS POSE

• Lie on your back bringing the soles of your feet together.
• Arms are at your side palms facing up, or you can place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.
• Stay in this pose for 5-15 minutes while gently breathing in and out through your nose.
• When you are ready to come out, take your hands to the outside of your knees to help draw them in to the midline.
• With your feet pressing into the floor, a little wider than hips distance apart, allow your knees to knock together for a few breaths.
