Yoga for Endometriosis: Poses That Can Help Ease the Pain

Restorative Goddess Pose

This relaxing pose helps relieve pelvic pain, ease abdominal tightness, and balance your nervous system. “Restorative Goddess Pose allows for deep relaxation and opens the chest walls, hips, and inner thighs. It also calms the dorsal vagus nerve, which is responsible for fight-or-flight response” Gondek says.

1. Place your bolster under your thighs, below your sitting bone
2. Use yoga blocks to create an incline support
3. Lie down with your spin and head supported by the cushions
4. Relax your arms out to the sides with your palms facing up
5. Focus on breathing deeply
6. Hold the pose for 3 to 10 minutes
