An inconsistent or missing period (amenorrhoea) is often the body's way of signaling systemic depletion. When the nervous system is overwhelmed by stress, or the body is undernourished, reproductive functions are paused. Therapeutic yoga addresses this by shifting the body out of "fight or flight" and using specific poses to increase circulation to the pelvic organs, restoring the hormonal environment needed for a regular cycle.
Nourishment is part of the picture.

Why is my period inconsistent?
An inconsistent cycle (amenorrhoea or oligomenorrhoea) is often a sign of systemic depletion. When the body is under chronic stress, undernourished, or recovering from illness, it diverts energy away from the reproductive system to prioritize basic survival functions. The nervous system and the endocrine system are intimately connected.
Can yoga help bring my period back?
Yes. Therapeutic yoga addresses the root cause by regulating the nervous system and increasing blood flow to the pelvic region. As Dr. Geeta S. Iyengar noted, specific poses like Baddha Konasana and supported inversions help to restore hormonal balance and encourage a healthy, regular cycle.
