Can I do yoga during my period?

Yoga is a very popular activity that many people are doing nowadays in order to cultivate their temperament. Many women practice yoga every day, so their bodies appear taller and slimmer. Everyone knows that it is best for women not to do strenuous exercise during their menstrual period, as it is not good for the body, and some yoga movements are difficult. So the question is, can women do yoga during menstruation?

It is best not to do this as you are weak during menstruation. Guidance: Avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation, especially exercise that causes increased abdominal pressure, such as standing long jump, skipping rope, sit-ups, long-distance running, etc., because if the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, it will not only easily cause changes in bleeding volume, but may also cause gynecological infections. Vigorous exercise during menstruation may also cause menstrual blood to flow back from the uterine cavity into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, and even infertility over time.

In fact, as long as it is within the scope of your physical ability, it will be fine. If you feel very tired every time you have your period and even feel unable to live a normal life, then don't do it. It is better to rest more. And if you can keep up the physical strength, exercise during menstruation can protect the uterus and ovaries 7 times more than normal exercise. It is worth noting that during menstruation, you should not do exercises that place the base (pelvic area) above the heart to prevent menstrual blood from flowing back into the heart. You should not do exercises that open the hips or exert intense force on the abdomen.

The above is the answer to the question of whether women can do yoga during menstruation. In fact, when women are menstruating, their whole body state is relatively tired, and some yoga movements are very difficult, so it is not recommended for female friends to do yoga when they are menstruating. If you must do yoga, try to choose yoga movements that are not too big and make sure to rest.
