Cycle Synced Yoga for Endo with Elisa Imperatori


Listen Later

Elisa Imperatori is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher and menstrual cycle and perimenopause educator. Combining yoga, body literacy and the phases of the menstrual cycle, she helps people turn their menstrual cycle into an ally so that they can go from menstrual pain, mood swings and not understanding their cycle to body harmony, reduced symptoms and a happier, healthier cycle.

In today’s episode, Elisa and I are talking about how to use yoga to experience a better cycle and manage chronic endo pain.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What cycle synced yoga is and how it differs from the ‘typical’ yoga we practice in Western society.
  • The evidence-based benefits behind yoga for endometriosis and chronic pain.
  • How to practice cycle-synced yoga for endometriosis symptom management and hormone health.
  • How to practice yoga safely with endometriosis and how to tailor poses appropriately to prevent flare ups.
  • The specific poses Elisa loves for pain relief.
  • If you want to be able to move your body in a way that supports your endo, rather than worsens it, this is a great episode!
