  2. You may noticeA routine realistic enough to keep — which matters more than any single session.
Feels like

Some days, even gentle exercise feels like too much.

Diets, videos and ‘PCOS hacks’ that contradict each other.

Tension that shows up in sleep, mood and energy.

  1. In classSlow breathing, a longer exhale and guided relaxation at the end of every class.
  2. You may noticeA familiar way to wind down that you can repeat at home, including before sleep.
Feels like

Worried about doing too much, or the wrong thing.

The practice

What is PCOS / PCOD yoga?

PCOS / PCOD yoga is a regular, guided practice designed with the needs of people living with polycystic ovary syndrome in mind. It combines gentle strength and mobility, breathing and relaxation, and it works alongside — never instead of — the care of your doctor.

Understanding PCOS and PCOD

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common, long-term hormonal condition that can affect periods, skin, hair, weight, mood and metabolic health, and it looks different from person to person. In India, many people also say PCOD: sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably, and sometimes PCOD describes a different or milder presentation. Your doctor is the best person to explain what your own diagnosis means.

What actually happens when you practise

You move through simple standing, seated and floor postures that build strength and mobility, learn a few calming breathing practices, and finish with guided relaxation. Every posture has an easier version, and you can rest at any time. No flexibility is required.

What a beginner can expect

  • A mix of standing, seated and floor work
  • Plain-language instruction; Sanskrit names explained
  • An easier option for every posture
  • Rest whenever you need it — no pushing through

What the evidence says

International guidelines recommend regular physical activity for people with PCOS. Studies of yoga specifically are still limited and mostly small, so we do not claim that yoga treats PCOS or changes hormone levels. What it can offer is an accessible, sustainable way to move, breathe and rest regularly.

Class content

Practices you may learn

Practices are introduced in three stages. No single posture or breathing technique treats PCOS; the value is in a steady, balanced practice your teacher adapts for you.

Tier 1

Foundations

Suitable for most beginners
  • Joint and spine mobility

    Gentle movement to warm up and loosen the body.

  • Standing postures

    Steady poses such as Tadasana and a supported tree pose.

  • Floor postures

    Simple, supported work such as cat–cow and bridge.

  • Natural breath awareness

    Observing the breath without changing it.

  • Extended exhale breathing

    A longer out-breath for a calmer finish.

  • Guided relaxation (Shavasana)

    Structured rest at the end of every class.

Tier 2

Building

After you are comfortable with the foundations
  • Surya Namaskar at your pace

    Sun salutations, slowed down and adapted.

  • Strength-building holds

    Poses such as the warriors and chair pose, held a little longer.

  • Alternate-nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana)

    Gentle, without breath retention.

  • Humming bee breath (Bhramari)

    A soft hum on the exhale.

  • Yoga Nidra

    A longer guided relaxation, lying down.

Tier 3

Guided & assessed

Only with your teacher’s go-ahead
  • Kapalabhati (skull-shining breath)

    A forceful exhale technique, traditionally a cleansing kriya.

  • Bhastrika (bellows breath)

    Vigorous, energising breathing.

  • Breath retention and bandhas

    Holding the breath with locks.

  • Vigorous or inverted postures

    Introduced only once foundations are steady.

These are powerful practices. They are not suitable for everyone, including during pregnancy and for some heart, blood-pressure, respiratory or other conditions. We teach them only after a conversation about your health and once your foundations are steady. None of them is needed to benefit from a regular practice.

Benefits

What regular practice can bring

Everyone’s experience is different, and evidence on yoga specifically for PCOS is still limited. These are what a regular practice is designed to support — not medical outcomes.

  • From stop-start to steady
  • From pushing to pacing
  • From tense to settled

Consistency matters more than intensity — a short practice, done regularly, adds up.

A movement habit you can keep

Regular activity is part of the lifestyle care recommended for PCOS; yoga is one accessible way to do it.

Strength and mobility

Standing and floor postures that build strength and ease of movement over time.

A calmer wind-down

Breathing and relaxation you can use as part of a stress-management routine.

Better body awareness

Noticing tension, energy and fatigue sooner, and responding to them.

A kinder relationship with movement

Exercise built around how you feel, not how you look.

Support for your wider care

A practice that fits alongside the lifestyle advice your doctor gives.

PCOS / PCOD yoga is a complementary wellness practice. It does not cure PCOS or PCOD, and it does not replace medication, treatment or your doctor’s advice. Please do not change any medication or treatment without your doctor’s guidance.

Questions

PCOS / PCOD yoga — frequently asked questions

Can yoga cure PCOS or PCOD?

No. There is no cure for PCOS, and yoga is not a treatment for it. International guidelines recommend a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, as part of care for PCOS. Yoga can be one accessible way to move, breathe and rest regularly, alongside the care of your doctor.

Do I need previous yoga experience?

No. Our PCOS / PCOD yoga classes in Baner start with simple foundations and build up gradually. Every posture has an easier option, and your teacher explains each practice in plain language.

Can yoga support a healthy lifestyle with PCOS?

It can be part of one. Guidelines recommend regular physical activity for people with PCOS and note that no single type of exercise has been shown to be better than others. Research on yoga specifically is still limited, so we present it as a supportive practice, not a medical intervention.

What happens during a class?

After a short check-in, the class moves from breath awareness and a gentle warm-up to standing, seated and floor postures, and ends with calming breathwork and guided relaxation. You can rest at any time.

Can I join if I’m not flexible or haven’t exercised in a while?

Yes. Flexibility is not a requirement, and the foundations are designed for people who are new to exercise or returning after a break. Props and chair options are available.

How often should I practise?

Regular, manageable practice matters more than long or intense sessions. Your teacher can suggest a class rhythm and a short home routine, and your doctor can advise how much activity suits you.

Is yoga enough to manage PCOS on its own?

No. PCOS care is individual and may include medical treatment, lifestyle advice and regular check-ups. Yoga can complement that care, but it should not replace anything your doctor has recommended.

Can I practise while taking medication?

In most cases, yes, but please follow your doctor’s guidance. Do not stop or change any medication because you have started yoga, and let your teacher know about anything that might affect your practice.

What if I have another medical condition?

Please speak with your doctor and with us before your first class. In many cases we can adapt the practice, and some stronger techniques will be avoided for you.

Are PCOS and PCOD the same thing?

The terms are often used interchangeably in India, though some doctors use PCOD for a different or milder presentation. Your doctor is the best person to explain what your own diagnosis means. Our classes welcome you either way.

Do you offer online PCOS / PCOD yoga classes?

Please ask us. We run live online batches for several classes and can tell you the current options for this class when you get in touch.

Is the first class really free? What happens after?

Yes, your first trial class is free, with no obligation. If you would like to continue, we will share the batch and plan options with you.

Still have a question?

We usually reply on WhatsApp within the day.
