Key takeaways
We’re excited to reveal our latest innovation! Introducing our breathing exercises tailored to support each phase of your menstrual cycle. This exclusive series, focussing on breathwork for your cycle, was crafted by our experienced yoga, meditation, and breathwork teacher, Sheila Arnell. And it was specifically designed to help Hormona users achieve better health and wellbeing.
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a powerful tool that can help you connect with your body, calm your mind, and balance your hormones. With Sheila’s expert guidance, you’ll learn specific breathing techniques that support your body’s unique needs throughout your menstrual cycle.
Sheila’s approach to yoga and breathwork comes from her deep understanding of the body-mind connection and her passion for empowering women to live in harmony with their cycles. Her teachings have helped women all over the world find greater balance, joy, and vitality.
And like us, Sheila’s excited by the idea of helping Hormonas the world over. “I’m soooo happy that we’re doing this together! I’m passionate about women’s health and have chosen to dedicate my days to sharing what I’ve learned with women around me. It’s truly my dream to share techniques to help women feel better, it’s the only way forward.”
Breathwork for your cycle: Exclusive to Hormona
With the Hormona app, you’ll now have access to a variety of breathwork sessions, each tailored to a different phase of your cycle. Whether you’re experiencing PMS symptoms or looking to enhance your energy and focus, these sessions can help you feel your best.
From reducing stress to lifting your mood, breathwork techniques have been tried and tested for centuries. As Sheila explains, “All the content on the Hormona app was specifically developed for Hormona. It’s not available anywhere else. I’ve chosen to base it on how women’s hormones fluctuate, since it’s essential for how and why we choose to practice different exercises.
“Our well-being is cyclical, so it’s natural for us to choose different exercises depending on where we are in the cycle. These exercises will strengthen you, strengthen your cyclical presence, and help you balance your body and mind.”
Breathwork anytime, anywhere
And the best part? You can practice these techniques anytime, anywhere. Just a few minutes every day will help you tap into the power of your breath. And that will support your hormonal health in a profound way, during every stage of your cycle.
To access Sheila’s exclusive breathwork sessions, download the Hormona app and choose our premium tier. And stay tuned for more exclusive features, resources, and support from us as you journey to hormonal harmony.
