Summary

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is characterized by a combination of cognitive, somatic, behavioral, and emotional disorders that occur during the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, resolve rapidly after menstruation, and can be severe enough to disrupt daily activities. When reviewing the literature, studies examining the effects of yoga-based exercises on premenstrual syndrome appear to be quite limited. Our aim is to raise awareness among professionals working in this field in our country, contributing to the reduction of symptoms and improvement of the quality of life of individuals with premenstrual syndrome.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Yoga-Based Exercise Program

This intervention is an 8-week yoga-based exercise program conducted with 60-minute sessions twice a week. The program aims to improve flexibility, mobility, and overall well-being. Each session consists of 5 minutes of warm-up, 5 minutes of breathing exercises, 40 minutes of yoga postures, 5 minutes of deep relaxation, and 5 minutes of meditation. The intervention adapts yoga postures based on participants' individual needs, offering a flexible approach. The difficulty of the yoga flows gradually increases over the 8 weeks. When necessary, postures are adapted using props like blocks, straps, blankets, and chairs. A physiotherapist guides participants, demonstrating correct techniques and providing verbal instructions. This program combines yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation to enhance physical and mental well-being, promoting long-term health benefits.
