Can women practice yoga during menstruation?

Practicing yoga has become a fashion. Everyone regards yoga as a way to relax in urban life and finds tranquility in yoga that is not available in urban life. Women who insist on practicing yoga may wonder, is it good to practice yoga during menstruation? What should you pay attention to when practicing yoga during menstruation? In fact, during different periods of women's lives, it is important to choose the right yoga movements and practice yoga well. Yoga can not only help women lose weight, but also relieve dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Let's learn about it below.

Some basic sitting poses in yoga can help eliminate stress and tension in women. At the same time, they can stretch the body to a high level, so that the joints are relaxed, swelling and pain are eliminated. Practicing these poses can relax the legs, calm the mind, and keep you away from various discomforts during menstruation.

It's okay to do something simple! But do it in moderation.

Positions that cannot be practiced:

All inverted postures (such as plow pose, headstand, shoulder stand, etc.), postures that squeeze the abdomen (such as back stretch, single leg stretch), and intense postures that require high body stress (such as wheel pose), etc., stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable

You can do some standing or kneeling postures that are gentle on the body (such as yoga mudra, bowing pose, triangle pose, tree pose, cat pose, snake pose, etc.)

It is not suitable to do inversions or positions that squeeze the abdomen during menstruation, as this will cause some of the menstrual blood that should have been discharged from the body to remain in the body, affecting menstrual health. Avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation. You can practice some gentle stretching postures to massage your body. After the menstrual period is over, practicing more yoga (including postures such as inversion) can eliminate the symptoms of discomfort during menstruation and is beneficial to the body and mind.

The above is what the editor introduced to you about some precautions that women should pay attention to when practicing yoga during menstruation and what yoga movements to practice. I believe everyone knows that choosing different yoga movements at different times can achieve the desired effect. However, it should be reminded that the menstrual period is a special stage for women after all. During this stage, if you feel unwell, you must rest well and should not force yourself to practice yoga. Yoga will achieve the best results when you practice it when your body and mind are relaxed.
