Is it suitable to practice yoga during menstruation?

Yoga is a sport that many friends like very much, and it is also very effective for human fitness. However, special attention should be paid in some cases. First of all, I will give you a detailed introduction, because many friends have been asking me recently, whether they can practice yoga during menstruation. This will help everyone's yoga exercises to have a better effect.

Each of us has a different physical constitution. Some students will be very weak during their menstrual period, and are prone to back pain, dysmenorrhea, and poor physical condition. Such students will feel particularly uncomfortable in the first two days of their menstrual period. The best way at this time is to rest or do restorative yoga poses, such as the supine bound angle pose.

After the two most uncomfortable days, you can do some soothing yoga exercises, not too intense, to help your body recover. During your non-menstrual period, pay attention to strengthening your posture and breathing exercises, which can help improve your physical condition and avoid problems such as dysmenorrhea.

There are also some students who are in good physical condition and their bodies do not react much during their menstrual period. Generally speaking, they can adapt to normal yoga practice. Even so, they should try to avoid inversion exercises, abdominal squeezing and contraction exercises (various abdominal contraction core exercises), and deep backbend exercises (overstretching the skin and muscles on the front of the abdomen can easily cause abdominal pain during menstruation).

People may also ask if Downward Dog and Double Angle Pose can be done during menstruation? The answer is yes. Some teachers think that these poses are also semi-inverted poses of the body, and practicing them during the menstrual period will easily cause menstrual blood reflux. However, in fact, menstrual blood reflux is mainly a problem of pressure in the body. In the Downward Dog Pose and Standing Forward Bend Pose, although the upper body and even the pelvis are in an inverted state, the position of our lower limbs has not changed, and the pressure in the body has not changed.

After listening to the above introduction by the editor, are you more clear about the precautions of yoga? In fact, there are still many things to pay attention to in yoga. Everyone must be particularly clear about this. In normal times, everyone must also develop good living habits, so as to reduce the harm to the human body caused by menstruation.
