This was the best moon cycle yoga on youtube. I truly felt nurtured and supported! Please continue to do these and maybe show us how we can use essential oils while doing this or our heating pad etc.
Thank you Shaunneka. Loved this practice, especially the pillow in the dangling forward fold. The message about consistency rather than intensity was perfect x
Dear Shaunneka, thank you! For a long time I used to avoid asana during my cycle because most classes were too intense for me during this time. This practice was very soothing and I loved your words about consistency rather than intensity it resonated deeply🙂🌷
So soothing and lovely, thank you. I had to opt out of the standing forward fold, it felt impossible for me. Also appreciated the targeting of specific meridian lines, and the line "True wellness is not about intensity - it's about consistency."
Thank you for this supportive Yin practice Shaunneka! I really appreciate your inclusive language around menstruation. I am non-binary and it made me feel at home in my body when you used gender neutral language when describing having periods. thank you for making this practice accessible!
I just subscribed today, and I wanted to tell you why because other channels could learn from you. In your video notes, you listed everything we would need for the practice, here being the bolster and pillow. Simple I know, but it makes everything a bit jarring when you sit on the mat, ready to go, then realize tools will be needed. You have to stop the video, get up, get everything, then get back into the "yoga" frame of mind and sit back down. I am new to yoga and yin yoga for my cycle was something I haven't come across yet, so here I am! Looking forward to learning more.
It being father's day (a day i struggle with), i found myself myself quite emotional throughout this class. Your gentle voice was so comforting, and the postures were so nurturing. It was a good release. Sending love from South Africa 🙏
Thankyou Shaunneka for this lovely class. I found it really soothing and has helped relieve my cramps! Loved the supported folds and twists, and the reclined Malasana. Namaste 🙏 x
What an amazing way to relieve some yuckiness around this time of my cycle. Yuckiness in the body and the mind! Such a relaxing and soothing practice. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the alternative malasana, and the supported twists. I also appreciated the reminder about consistency being more important than intensity, it's definitely something I need to be more mindful of. Thank you for another lovely class!
This was AMAZING! Currently waiting on my menstrual cycle but feeling that tension in my body and this was the perfect way to start my day. You've got a new subscriber.
Hello Shaunneka, I found your video this morning when I searched for "yin yoga for period". This is truly the best period yoga session I have ever done. The poses and your energy are so nurturing, gentle and supportive. This class helped me to surrender, and relax into the pain and discomfort I was feeling and make peace with it. I feel so nourished. Thank you! I've subscribed to your channel and saved your playlists. I'm excited to explore your other classes. Deep gratitude to you 💙💜💙
This was my first of your classes & I really enjoyed it! Helped to ease my cramps & lower back pain. Happy to subscribe & excited to try more videos soon. I had a hard time quieting my mind during long periods of silence. I’m used to other yoga videos that fill the silence with music or more talking that help me ground into the session more, but I think this is a good challenge/reminder for me to work on being able to tap into to my body without needing that constant audio direction to hold onto. I especially appreciated the reminder at the end about not needing intensity and the importance of building a regular practice. I’ve had a hard time not guilting myself for not having the energy & motivation for higher energy/cardio workouts in the last many months (maybe a year or more), but my body has been asking for slower, grounding practices so that’s what I’m giving her 💕
Silence and stillness is the heart of yin...I'm glad to hear you appreciate the silent moments. Thank you for sharing Jamie and WELCOME! glad to have you here.😊💛💛
Shaunneka, what a beautiful way to breathe into the first day of my cycle. First time being present, grateful and participating in honouring my monthly flow. Thankyou for your guidance and calm presence
I was searching for a restorative practice for the first day of my moon cycle and just found your channel. Loved this video and love your calming energy. Looking forward to seeing what other classes you have available. Thank you so much! Namaste y blessings from Colombia 🙏🏼💚🇨🇴
This is so comforting - both the postures and your voice/energy. Just what I needed to ease into a busy day whilst beginning my cycle. Your class helped me to remedy some physical discomfort as well as be present and honor my cycle. Thank you! ♥️🙏✨
I loved this practice. I found myself naturally breathing deeply and sighing, I was just so relaxed. Thank you, looling forward to enjoying more of your yoga videos.
This was such a wonderful class, exactly what I needed during a painful period. I genuinely enjoy your classes and style and find myself excited to practice. Thank you so much again for your classes, you have become my favorite yoga teacher!
Wow wow wow! So glad I found this today, just what I was looking for 🥰 beautiful and authentic as well as accessible for this time of the month. Thank you x
This was such a lovely way to start my morning :) Also, yours is the first session where I did not have to adjust the playback speed! It was very easy to follow and though I had to make some adjustment for not having a bolster, I felt peaceful and experienced gentle stretching, which is exactly what I was looking for. It was not rushed and I appreciated the gentle breaks in between poses. As well, finishing off with my hands on my belly was wonderfully calming-it felt even nicer when I put my hands directly on my skin
This was my first class of yours. I love the way that you explain the meridians and give background on the postures.(I played a bit of energy cleansing music while doing the flow. I find that it helps me to “drop in” even more) thank you fir this beautiful practice!
Beautiful practice! Being supported is just what I needed during this time. New subbie here! Looking forward to experiencing more content on your channel. Great job, sis! 🤗
This was such a great practice and the first one of yours that I tried. Glad to have found your channel and to see extensive yin practices. I look forward to trying others. Thank you!
This really worked wonders for me 😀 I especially liked this variation of Malasana 👌 I am fine with doing regular Malasana on my period, but I wanted to try this and boy, did it work 😅 Thank you so much, Shaunneka ❤️
I love the timing of this video. Love that you suggest we spent more time in each posture than the most of the videos I had found. It helps calming down, very good. Also, this particular video was important to me because it inspired me to practise asanas in extended duration each one in some sessions. Thank you! The sound is a little bit low sometimes, but it's not impossible to hear it. I have heard that usually is not a good ideia doing the stand up pose you did in the period, I heard a teacher saying that inverted asanas are not appropriate for period. Can you explain your motivation for this pose in this particular session? Thanks for sharing this video. 🙏🏼🌷🌿
Hey Paula, thank you for your feedback. As for the standing fold. I believe that is it would depend on the individual and their body, knowing what feels good and what works for in that moment. The pillow does provide comfort and aids in the relaxation bit. For myself, during my cycle I like to feel "closed in" its comforting. You know your body better than any teacher!😊
This was the best moon cycle yoga on youtube. I truly felt nurtured and supported! Please continue to do these and maybe show us how we can use essential oils while doing this or our heating pad etc.
Great suggestion! thank you 😊 and i'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this practice

Great class! Thank you. I especially appreciated your statement about true wellness being about consistency rather than intensity. Well said! 💖🙏🌟
You're welcome 🌚✨️
Thank you Shaunneka. Loved this practice, especially the pillow in the dangling forward fold. The message about consistency rather than intensity was perfect x
You're welcome! I love the pillow option on those days, nice and comforting😊
This was beautiful and so supportive for my nervous system and my womb today, the first day of my bleed. Thank you
You're welcome! glad you found this helpful❤
How divine. Your voice. Your silence. Your grace and support. ❤️🙏 Amazing.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this practice🌚🥰
Your voice is soul soothing, this was so peaceful. Thank you for being the community we all need ❤️
Oh, thank you! 🥰❤
I never comment but I loved this so much! Especially your message about intensity at the end. Very needed right now. Thank you!
Hi Erin, so glad you took a moment to leave a comment. Thank you 😊 and happy to hear you enjoyed this practice.🙏

Indeed! 😃🙌

This was so lovely. A perfect way to end this busy day. Thank you so much. Of to my foot bath and then... zzzzzz
