Today we have a special guest on Yoga with Dr. Melissa West. In this 52 minute flow yoga and restorative yoga class Anita Goa offers you a gentle yoga flow and some restorative yoga poses to help you with PMS bloating.

PMS can include over 150 symptoms. In this yoga practice we will focus on one; PMS bloating. We go through a gentle Gratitude/Moon Flow for circulation and to lift your spirit, and we will end with a few restorative yoga poses to ground and calm your mind and nervous system.

Anita Goa hopes this practice will come across as gentle, nourishing, and assist you in feeling cared for.

This routine focuses on creating space between your rib cage and abdomen. It will help relax your abdomen, pelvic region.

Pay attention to your breath. And direct your breath wherever it is needed or where you feel restriction.
