Can women practice yoga on the fourth day of menstruation?

There are many things a woman should pay attention to one or two days before her period: she cannot eat cold food, take a bath, or do strenuous exercise. But can you do some simple exercises after one or two days? For example, can you practice yoga on the fourth day of your period? The editor believes that this kind of thing varies from person to person. After all, the situation of every woman's menstruation is different. Some people stop after three or four days, while others last for a week.

Each of us has a different physical constitution. Some students will be very weak during their menstrual period, and are prone to back pain, dysmenorrhea, and poor physical condition. Such students will feel particularly uncomfortable in the first two days of their menstrual period. The best way at this time is to rest, or do restorative yoga poses, such as the supine bound angle pose. After the two most uncomfortable days, you can do some soothing yoga exercises without too high intensity to help your body recover.

There are also some students who are in good physical condition and their bodies do not react too much during their menstrual period. Generally speaking, they can adapt to normal yoga practice. Even so, they should try to avoid inversion exercises, abdominal squeezing and contraction exercises, and deep backbend exercises (overstretching the skin and muscles on the front of the abdomen can easily cause abdominal pain during menstruation).

People may also ask if Downward Dog and Double Angle Pose can be done during menstruation? The answer is yes. Some teachers think that these poses are also semi-inverted poses of the body, and practicing them during the menstrual period will easily cause menstrual blood reflux. However, in fact, menstrual blood reflux is mainly a problem of pressure in the body. In the Downward Dog pose and standing forward bend pose, although the upper body and even the pelvis are in an inverted state, the position of our lower limbs has not changed, and the pressure in the body has not changed. Therefore, it is not easy to cause menstrual blood reflux. As long as your physical condition allows, and do not move up and down too quickly when practicing forward bends, you can practice it with confidence.

Yoga is a very relaxing exercise that does not require high intensity. Therefore, girls with good physical fitness can do yoga during menstruation. Doing yoga is likely to relieve your back pain. But be careful not to keep it too long, after all, women are weak at that stage. Girls who have severe lower abdominal pain should not try this. It is not too late to practice after this stage.
