Sorry, this post has been sitting on my phone for way too long. 🫣

🩸I asked women about their cycle. I wasn’t prepared for what they said.

Not because it was shocking. Because it was so familiar.

„Not good. Disconnected.“
„The pain kills me.“
„I don’t feel like the world allows me to have my period.“
„My gynecologist told me that’s just how it is.“

These are not rare cases. These are everyday experiences that millions of women are quietly carrying. Alone. Often convinced it’s normal. Often told it’s normal.

I started asking these questions because I’ve been there myself. Losing my period, not understanding what my body was trying to tell me, trying things that didn’t work, feeling like something was fundamentally wrong with me.

Nothing was wrong with me. I just didn’t have the right support yet.

If any of these words sound like yours, I want you to know something. It doesn’t have to stay this way. And you are not alone in this.

Save this and send it to a woman who needs to hear it.

Yoga isn’t only what you do on the mat when life is good. 🧘‍♀️

Two days ago I had to cancel my flight home. Boyfriend waiting. No real choice. New plan, two weeks later.
I functioned. I made a new plan. That’s my coping strategy and it works. But functioning and actually accepting something are two completely different things. My nervous system still freaked out. It still grieved the version of things I had planned.

Here’s what I actually learned this week about acceptance: it’s not passive. Waiting to see what happens and hoping for the best would have destroyed my peace.

Tapas is usually translated as discipline. But it’s not about force. It’s about showing up anyway. Keeping your practice when your system is in shock. Not because it fixes anything but because it’s the one thing that holds you.

Vairagya is non-attachment. Not detachment. I was still heartbroken about missing my boyfriend. I still cried. Non-attachment means you feel it fully and you don’t let it make your decisions for you.

Ishvara Pranidhana is surrender. Acting on what you can. Releasing what you can’t. That’s the whole thing.

I kept my practice. I had honest conversations. I found a reason to be here. A yoga therapy internship and Pre/Postnatal training I wouldn’t have done otherwise.
Lived yoga looks sometimes different to the theory or what you do on the mat. But it works.

What has actually taught you acceptance? Tell me below.

My teacher once said something that changed everything for me.

She called it Pre Menstrual Signs. Not symptoms. Not syndrome.

That one word swap shifted something in me I didn’t even know was stuck.

And I’ve been taking it further ever since.
Because the way we talk about our cycles matters more than we think. The narrative we’ve been handed, that our bodies are difficult, unpredictable, too much, that didn’t come from nowhere. It came from a medical system that named our natural phases a disorder. It came from a culture that celebrates the fact that we can create life but shames everything that comes with it. The cycle. The hormones. The changes. The sensitivity.

We were never taught to trust our bodies. We were taught to fix them.

And that breaks my heart. Because I see every day what that costs women. Years of suffering. Years of being handed pills, procedures and products as the only answer. Years of not understanding what their body was actually trying to say.

Here’s what I know to be true. Your body has an enormous capacity to heal. But healing doesn’t start with a supplement or a protocol. It starts in the mind. And so does disease. That’s not a spiritual concept. That’s something yoga and menstrual cycle awareness teach us over and over again.

You are your own best medicine. No one else lives in your body. No one else can tell you what your experience should feel like or what it means.
That’s what I want to give you back. Not a standard method. Not a course with a one size fits all answer. Real coaching that helps you find what works for you. The kind that unpacks what’s actually going on, without a template.

If that’s what you’re looking for, come to my 1:1.

I didn’t choose this yoga therapy training for the certificate.

I chose it because I was tired of being scattered.

I love my energy. I’m a manifesting generator. I’m a Gemini. I have 100 ideas at once. That’s me.
But beneath that, there was this quiet craving:

Depth.
Focus.
Intensity.

I wanted to step out of my normal life and just concentrate on one thing. No multitasking. No constant input. Just immersion.

And that’s what the ashram gave me.

Not perfectly the outside world didn’t suddenly disappear. I didn’t fully unplug. But the rhythm of daily practice, study, reflection… it softened the noise.

What really stayed with me though wasn’t just the content.

It was the embodiment of the teachers.

I’ve done many trainings. And sometimes you can feel when people teach something they don’t actually live.

Here, I felt integrity.
Not perfection. Not dogma.
Just: this works for me, and I stand behind it.

That’s the kind of teacher, mentor, student and human I want to be.

Not someone who knows everything.
But someone who lives what she shares.

And that was worth everything.

Your period doesn’t care about calendars.
It moves with the moon.

New moon bleeders disappear into the cave.
Full moon bleeders crack open and release.
Waxing moon bleeders gather, prepare, build.
Waning moon bleeders shed, soften, let go.

This isn’t poetry.
It’s biology responding to rhythm, light, nervous system, hormones.

Modern science calls it cycle variability.
Ancient cultures called it wisdom.

Your bleed isn’t random.
It’s ritual.
It’s timing.
It’s communication.

🌙 Tell me which moon phase you bleed with
and I’ll send you a personal rest + regulation reminder —
for your rhythm, not the generic one.

The body remembers what culture forgot.

I wanted to this post for a long time now!

I was researching a little about different native tribes and how menstruation was treated before it became sth. to hide, to feel ashamed of, a burden, sth. we are not talking about and don’t even want to have. Especially when we have pain or other cycle related issues. But here is the thing these problems developed over time by creating this narratives and believes that our period is sth. to be ashamed of. By telling us we are unclean and incapable…simple less of use for modern society.

🙅‍♀️That’s BS my loves and let me say that this straight.
We need to remember we are bringers of life, without that blood the world could not exist. Let that sink in. How does this land for you?

And look at these antient tribes that understood that this is an important part of nature. They celebrated it, they honoured it, they took care of themselves and through this were able to access the great powers that come with it. Every month we die and we are being reborn again, every month is the possibility to let go of what we don’t need anymore and step into our full power.

Let’s remember that wisdom bleed by bleed. 🩸

A lot of “nervous system regulation” advice works beautifully — just not always for women.

I did a lot of research on the nervous system for the Her Temple Workshop last week and here are some takeaways for you:

Most tools were designed around bodies that run on a 24-hour hormonal rhythm.
Women don’t.

We move through a monthly infradian cycle, and that changes how we respond to
stress, cold, fasting, intensity, pressure.

Ice baths.
Fasted workouts.
Daily HIIT.
Relentless productivity.

None of these are bad.
But without cycle context, they can quietly dysregulate the female nervous system.

Warmth, nourishment, rhythm, and safety aren’t weaknesses.
They’re biologically appropriate regulation tools.

This work isn’t about rejecting discipline.
It’s about replacing force with intelligence.

In our last workshop, we explored:
• how the nervous system shifts across the cycle
• why tools can work one week and backfire the next
• how regulation, stress, and intimacy are deeply connected

If this speaks to you:

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s just been trained with the wrong blueprint.

Sometimes women choosing women makes people uncomfortable.

And that’s okay.

Women-only spaces aren’t created to make a statement.
They’re created because something different happens when women gather without being watched, managed, or interpreted.

Conversation deepens.
Breathing slows.
The body softens.

There’s nothing to prove here.
Nothing to explain.

Just time, space, and presence - intentionally held.

If you’ve been feeling the pull for something quieter, truer, and more grounded…
this might be for you.
