Progesterone is a steroid hormone produced by the body during ovulation. Its main role is to prepare a woman’s body for pregnancy.

He reminded me, how Yoga was beneficial for everyone at every stage of life. He then named to me a series of asanas paryicularly appropriate for women’s reproductive organs.
