Introduction
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is not just a physical condition—it reflects a deeper imbalance in the body, mind, and energy system. Many women today experience irregular periods, weight gain, acne, mood swings, and hormonal disturbances.
Yoga offers a holistic and natural path to restore this balance. Instead of quick fixes, yoga works deeply on the endocrine system, nervous system, and emotional health.
In this guide, you will learn a complete yogic approach to managing PCOS naturally.
🌸 What is PCOS? (In Simple Words)
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance where:
The body produces excess androgens (male hormones)
Ovulation becomes irregular
Metabolism slows down
Common Symptoms:
Irregular or missed periods
Weight gain (especially around the abdomen)
Acne and hair fall
Facial hair growth
Mood swings and anxiety
