“Yoga for irregular periods is gaining real traction among young women in Pune — and Mariyam’s experience at Soulz Fitness in Kondhwa shows exactly what consistent practice can do.
When Mariyam Bharmal joined Soulz Fitness in Kondhwa, she was juggling the pressures of college, dealing with persistent mood swings, and struggling with irregular periods. Like many young women, she knew she needed to move her body more consistently — she just needed the right support to make it happen.
Her trainer at Soulz Fitness took a targeted approach from the start. To help regulate her menstrual cycle, sessions were built around hip-opening postures known to support pelvic health — malasana, baddha konasana, supta baddha konasana, anjaneyasana, and pigeon pose were woven into her regular practice three days a week. To address the stress and emotional volatility that came with academic life, she was also introduced to breathwork: bhramari, anulom vilom, and box breathing became tools she could carry into her daily routine.
Progress wasn’t immediate. It took close to two months before the changes began to show. But gradually, her mood swings settled, and her periods became more regular. She also began walking after meals — a small habit that added to the overall shift. Her diet cleaned up too, something her trainer noticed alongside everything else.
Mariyam’s own reflection on the experience captures it well: “I have seen the change in me after a consistent workout. I always have believed in trusting the process no matter even if it takes a little longer.”
