Yoga has always made me feel peaceful and serene. Especially after a busy day at work. During periods also yoga is really good for the cramps. I and my daughter get our periods around the same time, so she joins me to yoga center only during her periods to soothe down her cramps. I got her adira period panties so that she doesn't have to worry about staining the yoga mat or anywhere else for that matter. Trying to get her to do yoga on a daily basis.

i had a friend who had irregular periods but she got pregnant. though it took some time for her to get pregnant but she did so and is now a mother of a healthy baby. it is possible to get pregnant with irregular periods. moreover yoga aids in regularizing periods if practiced with a healthy lifestyle.
