Try this during the cold season! Sacral loosening yoga for menopause and insomnia


Hello! I'm Anna!

It looks like the cold winter will continue for a little while longer, how are you all doing?

Many people feel cold and somewhat heavy and fatigued during this time of year.

I think that people who are suffering from menopausal problems or insomnia are particularly susceptible to feeling even more unwell due to the cold weather.

Today we'd like to introduce you to "sacrum loosening yoga," which is perfect for people like you!

We have previously introduced this information to our online members, but this time we have summarized it again in an easy-to-understand manner as a blog.

Please read this and use it to help you take care of yourself during the cold season.

By loosening the sacrum, blood flow will increase and your body will feel warmer.

It is also effective in balancing female hormones, so it is recommended for treating menopausal symptoms and insomnia.

So, let's first take a look at what the sacrum is!

What is the Sacrum? The Unknown Key to Women's Health

Do you know which part is referred to as the sacrum?

The sacrum is an inverted triangular bone located in the centre of the pelvis, above the buttocks crack.

The sacrum is actually very important for women's health!

The sacrum acts like a "foundation" that supports the stability of the pelvis, and if this area becomes stiff, blood flow becomes more likely to be impeded.

As a result, it can affect female organs such as the uterus and ovaries.

On the other hand, it is said that by loosening and softening the area around the sacrum, blood flow is promoted and it becomes easier to balance female hormones.

Furthermore, the sacrum is deeply connected to the autonomic nervous system.

By caring for this area, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, which can have a relaxing effect and improve insomnia.

Especially in cold seasons, the body tends to stiffen and the area around the sacrum tends to become stiff.
That's when sacrum loosening yoga comes in handy!


Benefits of Sacral Loosening Yoga

You may be wondering what kind of changes will occur in your body when you loosen your sacrum.

In fact, this small movement can have a surprisingly positive effect on your entire body.

Here are three specific benefits:

  1. Your blood flow will improve and your body will feel warm!

    There are many blood vessels around the sacrum.

    By relaxing this area and increasing blood flow, your whole body will warm up more easily.

    It is also recommended for those who suffer from poor circulation or who have difficulty warming up in the cold winter weather.

  2. The autonomic nervous system is regulated and you can sleep soundly.

    When you loosen the sacrum, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant and you switch into relaxation mode.

    This results in a better night's sleep and reduced stress.

    It is especially effective for those who suffer from insomnia or have trouble falling asleep!

  3. Relief of menopausal symptoms

    During menopause, the balance of female hormones can easily become disrupted, causing physical and mental discomfort.

    Loosening the sacrum promotes blood flow in the pelvis and activates the uterus and ovaries, helping to balance female hormones.

    You may feel a refreshing lightness from the inside of your body.

Easy! How to do sacral loosening yoga
Sacral loosening yoga is characterized by movements that are easy for even beginners to incorporate.

No special equipment is required, just lie on your back on the floor!
It's easy to incorporate into your busy days.

So, let me introduce it in 3 steps.

Step 1: Lie on your back and stimulate your sacrum

  1. Lie on your back and bring your knees up and together.

  2. Lift both legs off the floor.

  3. While keeping your feet together, rotate in a circular motion while focusing on your sacrum.


Step 2: Raise one leg and roll your pelvis

  1. While lying on your back, extend one leg towards the ceiling.

  2. In this position, rock your pelvis from side to side.

  3. As the pelvis moves, it stimulates the sacrum, loosening up any stiff areas.

  4. Switch legs and do the same on the other side.


Step 3: Cross your legs and tilt them to the left and right

  1. Lie on your back, bend your knees and cross one leg over the other.

  2. In this position, bend both knees to the left and right to loosen the area around the pelvis.

  3. Move slowly and within your range of motion. Repeat on the other side.
