Yoga is currently practiced by many girls in our country. Yoga is beneficial to physical and mental health, especially it is very helpful in shaping the human body. It is a very good sport. However, when the menstrual period comes, girls are generally not in a very good mood and get angry easily. Are there any benefits to practicing yoga during menstruation? What issues should we pay attention to? Here are some suggestions for you.

The following beneficial yoga poses can be performed during menstruation:

1. Bending and stretching (stand or sit, stretch your arms upwards while inhaling, and exhale to move your arms forward and then downward, with your body as close to your legs as possible). This action can relieve abdominal pain during menstruation, relax the nervous system and stabilize emotions.

2. Crescent pose (bend one leg at the knee, take a big step back with the other leg, inhale and raise your arms upwards, exhale and lean your body backwards, with your head tilted back). This movement can stimulate the pelvic organs and promote blood circulation.

3. Straddle position (sitting on a cushion, spread your legs as far as possible to the sides, when inhaling, stretch your spine upward while raising your arms, exhaling and leaning forward, slowly lowering your arms to the ground or to the maximum extent you can reach). This action can relieve pelvic congestion, improve the health of pelvic organs, and improve sexual function;

4. Camel pose (kneel on the mat with both knees, support the sides of the waist with your hands, inhale and lift the chest, open the shoulders, push the hips forward while exhaling, lean the body back, support the waist with your hands or put them on the heels. Tightening the buttocks can relieve waist discomfort). This movement can promote blood circulation, nourish, stretch and strengthen spinal nerves, which is beneficial to the disorders and recovery of female reproductive organs and sexual functions, and relieves physical discomfort.

Avoid inverted poses during your period. Practicing yoga can not only shape a good body, but also make people feel happier. It is very important for people who are menstruating to keep calm because they can get angry easily. Moreover, the pressure of society is getting greater and greater, so choosing yoga as a way to relax the body and mind is a very good choice.
