Tidal Yoga: Flowing with Your Menstrual Cycle

Your body isn't the same every day—your yoga practice shouldn't be either. Learn to understand your body's natural rhythms, adapt your practice with confidence, and work with your body instead of against it.

Have you ever stepped onto your yoga mat and wondered why the same practice feels effortless one day and impossible the next? Many of us have been taught that consistency means showing up in exactly the same way every day. So when our energy shifts, we assume we're unmotivated, lazy, or simply "not disciplined enough." But your body isn't designed to feel the same every day. Tidal Yoga is a self-paced course that helps you understand your body's natural rhythms and discover how your yoga practice can support you through every phase of your cycle—or the lunar cycle if you don't menstruate. Instead of pushing through fatigue or wondering what your body needs, you'll learn how to adapt your practice with clarity and confidence. Inside the course you'll explore: - The menstrual cycle and the hormones behind it. - How energy, mood, strength, and recovery naturally change throughout the month. - Yoga practices designed for each phase of the cycle. - Traditional perspectives from yoga and Chinese Medicine, alongside modern physiology. - Opening and closing rituals to help you tune into your body's changing needs. - Guidance for irregular cycles, hormonal contraception, and trans women who wish to practice with the lunar cycle. Rather than following rigid rules, you'll develop the knowledge and confidence to make choices that feel right for your own body. Because the goal isn't to become more disciplined. It's to understand your body well enough that you can move through each season with more ease, self-trust, and compassion.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this course only for people who menstruate?
Not at all. The practices can support anyone interested in working with natural rhythms. If you're on hormonal contraception, in perimenopause, postmenopausal, or a trans woman, you can follow the lunar cycle instead of a menstrual cycle. The course is about cultivating awareness of cyclical energy—not fitting into one specific experience.
2. Do I need yoga experience?
No. The practices are designed to be accessible for beginners while offering enough depth for experienced practitioners. You'll always be encouraged to adapt the practice to your own body.
3. What if my cycle is irregular?
That's completely okay. Many people have irregular cycles due to stress, PCOS, perimenopause, postpartum, or other factors. Rather than trying to "fix" your cycle, this course helps you become more aware of your body's changing needs and work with whatever rhythm is present.
4. Is this based on science or spirituality?
Both—clearly distinguished. You'll learn about hormones and physiology alongside perspectives from yoga philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and energetic traditions. You'll be invited to explore what resonates with you, without needing to adopt any particular belief system.
5. How long are the practices?
Most yoga sessions are designed to fit into everyday life, ranging from around 20–45 minutes. You can also revisit individual practices whenever you need them.
