A daily practice of remembering yourself - one cycle at a time.
In a world that moves fast and expects you to keep up, tuning into your menstrual cycle might seem like a luxury—or even a weakness. But what if it's actually your superpower? What if choosing to live with your cycle, instead of fighting against it, could change not just how you feel… but how you live, love, work, and resist?
At Baba Yaga, we believe cycle awareness is more than wellness—it's a quiet revolution. A way to come home to yourself in a culture that's built to keep you disconnected and exhausted. And it doesn't take a total lifestyle overhaul. Just a moment of daily attention. A little check-in. A pause. A reminder from Baba Yaga to trust your body.
As Audre Lorde once said:
“
Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.
”
This app is your daily reminder that you matter. That your body's rhythm is real. And that honoring it is an act of resistance—and restoration.
We've been taught to override our needs to meet deadlines, push through cramps to be productive, and ignore our intuition because it's not “rational.” Living cyclically asks something different. It's not about perfection or purity—it's about practice.
When you live in sync with your cycle, you begin to notice:
You need more rest during your bleed—so you skip the extra meeting and take a bath.
You feel creative and social mid-cycle—so you schedule your big ideas for that time.
You're feeling sensitive before your period—so you draw boundaries and honor your needs.
These small changes ripple outward. They reshape how you show up in your relationships, your work, and your activism. Tuning in doesn't make you less effective—it makes you more aligned. More resourced. More powerful.
Let's be honest: our world wasn't built with menstruating bodies in mind. Periods are still taboo. Pain is normalized. And many of us have been made to feel like our bodies are the problem. But the truth is: your cycle is not broken. The system is.
Tracking your cycle is a way to reclaim knowledge that was taken from us. Knowledge passed down in whispers or lost in medical systems that never asked the right questions. When you track with Baba Yaga, you begin to understand not just when your period is coming—but how your energy, mood, and creativity shift through each phase.
As Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry, says:
“
Rest is resistance.
”
And we'd add: So is cycle tracking.
There's no gold star for pushing through your luteal crash or ignoring your cramps to answer emails. Baba Yaga invites you to do less with more love. Each day, the app meets you where you are—with a reflection, a hormone insight, and a little nudge to honor what your body is asking for.
We're not here to fix you. We're here to remind you that you were never broken.
Examples of what cycle living can shift:
A teacher who times their lesson planning for their follicular phase, when their focus is sharp.
A parent who asks for more support during their bleed, knowing they need quiet.
An entrepreneur who schedules launches for ovulation but blocks time for rest afterward.
A student who tracks mood and energy to understand their PMDD—and begins to advocate for themselves in school and health settings.
These aren't just cycle hacks. They're ways of saying: I'm allowed to be cyclical. I'm allowed to live in my truth.
The Baba Yaga app isn't just a tracker. It's a daily cycle companion. A digital wise woman who cheers you on, nudges you to rest, and reminds you that your power lies in presence, not performance.
Whether you're new to cycle tracking or already deep in the journey, this app is here to support you with:
Hormone-informed daily insights
Fertility awareness education (including the symptothermal method)
Mood and energy tracking
Cycle-based rituals and reflections
Personalized healing journeys for symptoms like cramps, burnout, or PMS
We're not selling optimization. We're offering orientation. Toward your body. Toward truth. Toward a way of being that just might help you survive—and thrive—in this imploding world.
We know the world needs big change. But big change doesn't happen all at once. It starts in small moments of courage. Small acts of listening. Small decisions to live a little more slowly, a little more honestly.
So if you’re tired of being tired…
If you’re ready to stop fighting your body…
If you long for a different pace, a different path—
Start with your cycle.
Baba Yaga will meet you there.
