Understanding Endometriosis: A Silent Disease
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. This chronic , often underdiagnosed disease is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, causing pelvic pain, heavy periods, fatigue, digestive problems, and infertility.
Pain can be so intense that it interferes with daily life, and faced with the burden of medical treatments, many women seek gentle and natural alternatives . This is where yoga becomes a valuable ally.
Why combine yoga and endometriosis?
Yoga is an ancient discipline that combines breathing , gentle movements and meditation . For women with endometriosis , this practice can:
- Reduce stress , an aggravating factor of the disease;
- Improve pelvic blood circulation ;
- Reduce inflammation and muscle tension;
- Promote body acceptance and overall well-being.
🌿 Regularity in yoga practice can transform your relationship with pain, helping you regain control of your body.
The benefits of yoga for pelvic pain related to endometriosis
🌬️ 1. Relaxation of the nervous system
Yoga activates the parasympathetic system , the relaxation system, through conscious breathing (pranayama). This activation reduces the perception of pain and tension in the pelvic floor muscles.
🤸 2. Gentle pelvic mobility
Certain postures (asana) such as the butterfly pose (Baddha Konasana) or the child's pose (Balasana) allow a gentle stretching of the pelvic muscles, which are often tense in women suffering from endometriosis .
🧘♀️ 3. Connection to the body and the present moment
Regular practice helps you reconnect with your body, listen to it without judgment, and soothe the anxiety associated with chronic pain. It can even be combined with Maholi perineal cryotherapy for enhanced anti-inflammatory effects.
The Best Yoga Poses for Endometriosis Relief
Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana)
It opens the pelvis and stimulates blood circulation . Practiced with deep breathing, it helps release internal tension.
The Half Bridge (Setu Bandhasana)
Lengthens abdominal muscles , reduces pressure on the uterus and improves blood flow. Ideal at the beginning of the cycle or during periods of moderate pain.
The Lying Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana)
Perfect for relaxing the lumbar and pelvic area . It can help relieve digestive pain often associated with endometriosis .

Step 1: Take 10 minutes a day

Testimonials from women who practice perineal cryotherapy
"Audrey:EssentialSince I discovered Maholi, I can't live without it. It immediately soothes my endometriosis pain, reduces swelling in my stomach and improves my digestion, not to mention my nights are much more restful and so many other benefits. I gradually integrated Maholi into my daily routine, it's easy to use, you just have to think about it."
"Jeanne : My daily relief: I've had several problems for a year: endometriosis with unbearable pain, insomnia because I'm too hot, especially in summer under the roof, digestive problems and fatigue... after having tried all possible treatments, even powerful medications, I told myself that it was always better to try something natural rather than continuing to dope myself in vain. So I received the holi. Results: I sleep like a baby until 9 a.m., I no longer have too much pain from my endometriosis, my stomach no longer hurts because of difficult digestion and above all I feel a general feeling of well-being that I had never felt before!!! In short, I recommend it to everyone, even those who don't have chronic or inflammatory "problems". The feeling of well-being is immediate and prolonged! I can no longer do without my perineal cold pack. I even ordered some for my darling and he feels the same benefits as Although he was very skeptical at first, seeing the change in me, he gave it a try. Opt for a natural solution like cold, you won't be disappointed."
Conclusion: Yoga and endometriosis, a natural way to relieve yourself
Yoga for endometriosis relief is an ideal practice for better coping with the disease.
And with the help of Maholi cold packs , this path to well-being becomes even more accessible, fresh… and natural ❄️💪.
