Can I practice yoga during my menstrual period?

I believe that there are always a few days every month when many women feel irritable, accompanied by lower abdominal pain and physical fatigue. In fact, this is because they are in their menstrual period, and their body resistance and immunity are seriously reduced, which makes it very easy for them to be attacked by diseases. So many female friends will raise such a question, that is, can you practice yoga during menstruation? In the following time, please discuss this with me.

Can. Practicing yoga can promote blood circulation throughout the body, nourish the spinal nerves, balance the internal organs, help regulate menstruation, speed up blood circulation in the pelvic organs, reduce congestion of the pelvic and abdominal gonads, reduce symptoms such as abdominal pain during menstruation, and relieve restlessness during menstruation.

Notice

1. If the menstrual flow is heavy in the first two days of your period, it is better to rest and do simple meditation or breathing exercises.

2. It is strictly forbidden to practice headstand, shoulder stand, pear pose and other movements that make the body stand upside down during menstruation.

Effective yoga moves

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

Group 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, and tilt your head back). This action can stimulate the pelvic organs and promote blood circulation; however, it is not recommended to do it in the first two days of heavy menstruation.

The third group: Sitting Angle Pose (Sit on a cushion and spread your legs as far as possible to the sides. When you inhale, stretch your spine upward while raising your arms. Exhale and lean your body forward. Slowly lower your arms to the ground or extend them to the maximum extent you can). This action can relieve pelvic congestion, improve the health of pelvic organs, and improve sexual function;

I believe that with the above discussion, our friends will have a deeper understanding and more proficient mastery of the question of whether they can practice yoga during menstruation. But I still want to say one more thing. Many female friends who are in their menstrual period tend to be very lazy and cautious in everything. In fact, this is not advisable. During the menstrual period, they can do some gentle exercises to promote better discharge of blood stasis.
