Can I practice hot yoga during my period?

Yoga has a very good effect on body shaping. Many women will have a question: can they practice yoga during menstruation? In fact, when practicing yoga, as long as you are careful not to use some inverted positions, you can practice it during menstruation, especially hot yoga, which can help women detoxify during menstruation. Next, let’s take a look at the benefits and precautions of hot yoga.

Benefits of Hot Yoga

1. Hot yoga can detoxify and reduce fat

Detoxification is achieved through temperature and speed exercises, which is the biggest effect of hot yoga. When the human body does hot yoga, it sweats several times more than usual. Sweat can bring out excess fat in the body and discharge it, which can have a significant detoxification and fat-reducing effect. As toxins in the body are reduced, the skin will be visibly improved and become more radiant and brighter.

2. Hot yoga can increase the body's flexibility

Yoga movements require a certain degree of flexibility, but they are difficult for people who do not exercise regularly or for beginners. If you raise the indoor temperature to 35-42 degrees Celsius and then perform a set of reasonably choreographed movements in sequence, these movements will be easier to complete.

Prevent practitioners from getting injured. This is like a piece of steel which is difficult to change its shape and easy to break when it is cold. However, if it is heated to a certain temperature, it can be easily bent into shape, has good flexibility and is not easy to break.

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.

Hot yoga can detoxify the body and reduce body fat. When practicing hot yoga, the sweat is several times higher than usual, and the sweat can also bring out some excess fat in the body, which can obviously play a role in weight loss. After the toxins in the body are reduced, the skin will also be significantly improved. It is also more suitable to practice hot yoga during menstruation, but be careful not to make large movements.
