Introduction:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) are two commonly occurring endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age. The symptoms, which include irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, and fertility issues, can significantly impact the quality of life of those affected. While medical interventions exist, many individuals seek alternative therapies to manage their symptoms and promote overall well-being. One such holistic approach gaining attention is the integration of yoga practices tailored to address PCOD and PCOS. To empower women with effective self-care tools, a 2-hour workshop dedicated to yogic cures for PCOD and PCOS is set to unfold, offering insights, practices, and community support.
Workshop Overview:
The workshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how yogic principles and practices can alleviate symptoms associated with PCOD and PCOS. Led by experienced yoga instructors and healthcare professionals specialising in women’s health, the session will blend theoretical knowledge with practical techniques to foster a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit. Participants can expect the following components during the workshop:
