Can I practice yoga during menstruation?

Yoga originated in ancient India. People in today's society are under long-term stress and sub-health conditions. At this time, yoga can save you, regulate your physiology, and restore you to the most balanced state of body and mind. Yoga is a sport that regulates physiological balance, in addition to training people's emotional intelligence. It is also very helpful in relieving symptoms such as obesity, insomnia, anxiety and arthritis. Let’s take a brief look at the question of whether you can practice yoga during menstruation.

First of all, it may be necessary to understand that traditionally, or at least in ancient India, very few women practiced yoga (at least not publicly). It was not that they were prohibited, but the social, customary and cultural conditions at the time caused women to engage in activities and roles that were quite different from those of men.

Unlike today's modern society, women are used by society in their careers and jobs almost like men, bearing the same pressure and responsibilities, whether voluntarily or under economic pressure or for any other reasons. Women in the past did not practice yoga, perhaps for the same reason as fewer modern men practice yoga (no one prohibits men from practicing yoga).

Yoga, due to its original serious, philosophical, academic and ascetic nature, is a male activity. But unfortunately, due to commercial hype, yoga has gradually lost its seriousness and philosophy, and has become a cheap fashion. Elegant men think it is too popular, popular men think it is too feminine, orthodox men think it is too alternative, and alternative men think it is too similar to fitness. In short, all these misunderstandings cannot be cleared up even if you jump into the Yellow River.

The above is a relatively simple explanation of the question of whether you can practice yoga during menstruation. It is best to wear loose clothing when exercising and try to avoid excessive jewelry to reduce exogenous restraint. Also, don't wrap your legs to slim down your legs as that may cause eczema. Normally, we need to maintain good living and eating habits and try to avoid special physiological periods.
