Can women practice yoga during menstruation?

In people's minds, practicing yoga is a good way to cultivate the body and mind, and also a good way to shape the body. Many girls practice yoga to lose weight and shape their bodies. Practicing yoga requires doing a variety of movements, including stretching the legs. The movements are so intense, will practicing during menstruation have any impact on women? Can women practice yoga during menstruation? Let's discuss it together.

Yoga is an ancient method of weight loss. It has tens of thousands of movements, including bending, stacking, folding, bending, twisting, suppressing, flexing, stretching, lifting, pressing, etc. Through the adjustment of movements and exhalation, it can achieve a slimming effect. However, for the sake of continuity in weight loss, most women who choose yoga to lose weight do not want their menstrual period to affect the weight loss process. Yoga can also help women regulate their menstrual periods and solve some gynecological diseases. But if you want to continue yoga to lose weight during your menstrual period, you must choose appropriate movements to continue practicing under the guidance of a coach. For example, you definitely should not do a headstand during your menstrual period.

Other large-amplitude movements such as leg lifting and pressing down are not suitable for exercise during menstruation. After all, the feeling of having fluids everywhere is not very good. However, we can choose some movements with small amplitudes and regulate breathing. This will not only not affect weight loss, but also promote blood circulation, nourish the spinal nerves, balance the internal organs, and help you regulate menstruation, so that you can both regulate and reduce pain during menstruation and lose weight, having the best of both worlds.

In addition, you should eat less cold vegetables and fruits during menstruation, such as watermelon, grapes, pears, bitter gourd, winter melon, cabbage, etc. It is suitable to eat some warm vegetables and fruits, including: dates, chestnuts, peaches, apricots, longans, lychees, cherries, pineapples, pomegranates, carrots, leeks, pumpkins, mustard greens, etc.

From the above, we can know that it is not good for women to do large movements and postures during menstruation as usual. However, if you practice properly during menstruation and do some slow movements to relax your mood, it will be more conducive to the effect of detoxification and beauty, and also help with weight loss. It is of great benefit to women, so women can practice yoga if they adjust properly during menstruation.
