PCOS is one of many womb-related illnesses that’s not yet fully understood. If you’re experiencing PCOS and struggle with finding solutions, you’re not alone.
PCOS is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
If you’re experiencing amenorrhoea (no periods) or oligomenorrhea (scanty periods), PCOS is suggested as the most common cause.
I'm Joss, a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) specializing in women's health and wellness. I work with clients who seek natural remedies to manage PCOS, often after feeling frustrated with traditional medical approaches. Yoga Therapy provides a range of exercises and techniques that can help reduce and manage PCOS symptoms.
I'd love to share how you can manage PCOS using these natural Yoga Therapy techniques.
Let’s start with some of the signs and symptoms of PCOS.
Signs and Symptoms of PCOS:
Numerous small cysts and a thickened surface layer in your ovaries
Increased testosterone and low estrogen
Excess body hair and acne
Fertility issues
People experiencing fertility issues are supported - by Doctors - with drugs such as Clomid which stimulates ovulation.
What I hear most often from my clients is that they’re confused and frustrated with trying to manage PCOS. Many are prescribed medication by their doctors, but they aren't finding the relief they need.
Almost always, when I work with clients experiencing PCOS, I find that they lack an emotional or spiritual practice to connect with their menstrual cycle and womb.
In yogic philosophy, everything is interconnected—mind, body, and spirit. Therefore, addressing illness requires more than just treating the physical body; emotional and spiritual aspects must also be healed.
With PCOS, emotional and spiritual healing of the uterus is often overlooked, yet it's essential for true healing.
Here are some yoga practices that address healing the emotional and spiritual aspects of PCOS:
Meditations for womb healing
Journal tracking your cycle days
Moon rituals
Writing a letter to your womb
How Can Yoga Therapy Treat PCOS Naturally?
Yoga Therapy provides a holistic bio-psychosocial approach to managing and reducing the emotional, spiritual, and physical symptoms of PCOS.
Incorporating a daily routine that nurtures the physical and emotional health of the uterus and reproductive organs can be highly beneficial.
The tough part is knowing what a daily routine for PCOS should consist of. I’m here to bridge that gap.
Here’s An Example of a Suggested Yoga Therapy Practice to Treat PCOS Naturally From Home:
Begin respectful awareness of your period cycle (if you menstruate) via journal tracking practices.
Womb Yoga to facilitate a positive relationship with your menstrual and/or womb health. This style of yoga offers a compassionate approach to helping you develop period cycle awareness and/or womb awareness.
Understand your inner period rhythms (AKA: seasons) and treat each phase with respect.
How Can Private Yoga Therapy Help Treat PCOS?
Here’s what happens in a private yoga therapy session for a client experiencing PCOS…
Gentle womb yoga exercises: This helps develop period cycle awareness, womb awareness, and a positive relationship with your womb.
Emotional practices: Such as affirmations and journal awareness tracking to better understand each cycle day and season phase.
Spiritual practices: Such as womb meditations and womb yoga nidra to reduce stress, balance hormones, and promote healing.
Every PCOS client has unique needs. When a client books their first private yoga therapy session, they submit an intake form which I use to research and prepare our session:
Many of the problems associated with PCOS can be managed naturally with a healthy lifestyle that nurtures you mind, body, and spirit.
I’ve witnesses so much growth from clients who open up to the emotional and spiritual aspects of healing their wombs.
Bottom Line
Many of the problems associated with PCOS can be managed naturally with a healthy lifestyle that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Private Yoga Therapy sessions offer a space for healing the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of PCOS.

Hi! I’m Joss Frank, founder of Wild Womb. I understand how womb and body healing ignites when you look within for guidance because I self-healed from my painful periods, depression, anxiety, sexual assault, emotional and physical abuse… after years of failed efforts to feel better about myself. My failed efforts led to a revelation that true healing comes from within and it requires loving community.
Today, as a Yoga Therapist C-IAYT, I help people with womb and body healing so they can reclaim their confidence and love their bodies.
