Can I practice yoga during menstruation?

Adult women have menstruation every month. Many women tend to lose temper during menstruation, and most people also experience dysmenorrhea. Some female friends who practice yoga regularly often do not dare to practice yoga during their menstrual period, because during their menstrual period, their bodies will experience varying degrees of discomfort, which will affect the comfort of practicing yoga. Therefore, netizens often ask whether they can practice yoga during menstruation. Today, the editor will give you the answer.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. The symptoms such as low back pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, etc. during menstruation are always unpleasant. When I was young, I often suffered from dysmenorrhea. Later, after I came into contact with yoga, I gradually tried to practice during my menstrual period (of course, I should practice selectively according to my physical condition).

After persisting for a period of time, I found that the practice was not as terrible as I had imagined. On the contrary, I felt that my body and spirit were much better than before I practiced yoga. The abdominal pain was also improved, so I continued to practice yoga during my menstruation. Over time, the dysmenorrhea phenomenon disappeared, and many symptoms of menstrual discomfort also gradually went away from me, and my facial complexion became better and better.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, it is still recommended that you practice yoga, which will have many benefits for the body. Practicing yoga will promote blood circulation throughout the body, nourish the spinal nerves, balance the internal organs, help regulate menstruation, speed up blood circulation in the pelvic organs, reduce congestion of the pelvic and abdominal gonads, and reduce symptoms such as abdominal pain during menstruation.

However, it should be noted that if the menstrual flow is too heavy in the first two days of your period, it is better to rest and do simple meditation or breathing exercises.

Yoga is a kind of exercise that regulates the body and mind. We should feel it and enjoy it with a relaxed attitude. Dysmenorrhea is not terrible. What is terrible is our attitude towards it.

Nowadays, many women with dysmenorrhea often choose to take medicine or lie still during their menstrual period. In fact, it is better to do some relaxing exercises. The best way is to practice yoga.

There are many yoga postures that can help women who suffer from dysmenorrhea during menstruation to relieve the pain of dysmenorrhea, making women's bodies more relaxed during menstruation and away from dysmenorrhea. In addition, it should be noted that headstand and shoulderstand should never be done.
