Hi Ashley, I have tried yoga, and it definately helps me….sometimes I am in too much pain to do it, but it doesnt take too much energy because it isnt an aerobic workout, find a class or tape which is more for beginners and you will find that it helps you to relax, they also teach breathing techniques. I live in the uk and have been using Barbara Curries video tape. Maybe you could try this? I hope you get on well Helen

I just wanted to chime in on how great I think Yoga is. In actuality it IS an aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is that which is done "with oxygen" by definition. However, it is a common misconception that in order to be exercising aerobically you need to be jumping around and putting your body through some kind of test. This is not the case. One of the fundamental aspects of Yoga is the breathing. A lot of people actually take in more oxygen with Yoga because they never exercise so hard that they get "out of breath". The breathing techniques used in Yoga make the exercise aerobic. Many celebrities exclusively use forms of yoga to keep in shape. The reason I am giving all this info is that I have been restricted in my ability to work out. Often times it is too painful for me to do so but I can do some types of yoga. For all the women here who are struggling with not being able to work out, trust me when I say that deep breathing and stretching is a serious workout so give it a try. I bet you’ll be amazed at how well it works. Have a great day everyone, Jocelyn Before you buy.

I was doing yoga but have stopped since my lap on the 4th of Feb. It is amazing in helping with cramping just before my period. I use Rodney Yee’s videotapes. He has quite a few thet are quite popular so you should be able to find them in your area. There are some stretches and backbends that you shouldn’t do while menstrating. I just take a few days off and then go back to the normal routine. Good luck!!!! DREAM BIG!
