What should I do if my period comes early after practicing yoga?

Yoga is loved by many women because it not only has the effect of beautifying the body, but more importantly, for some obese women, it can also play a good role in weight loss and prevent various diseases. Therefore, there are many people practicing yoga now. However, many women have reported that their menstruation came early after practicing yoga for a period of time. What is going on? What should you pay attention to when practicing yoga? Let me introduce them to you one by one!

Practicing yoga can help expel toxins from the body. Girls' bodies are often invaded by cold air, especially during menstruation. If the cold air accumulates over a long period of time and they do not exercise regularly, the cold toxins in the body cannot be expelled, which is very bad for the body. If the menstruation comes early, if it is not due to pathological reasons, it is probably because the cold toxins in the body have been beaten out. Continuing to practice will make it normal and your complexion will get better and better. Also, when practicing yoga, you should do it according to your ability and not overwork yourself, as this will be bad for your health.

1. Know your goals and persevere

Only persistent practice can bring the desired results.

Modern people lead hectic lives and are overwhelmed with trivial matters, and their practice is often interrupted by unexpected distractions. However, the key to practice is not length, but concentration. Doing it daily, even for a shorter period of time, is much more effective than doing it once a week.

2. Don’t force yourself or be impatient

When doing any posture, you should follow the steps and let it go naturally. Especially for beginners, do not be greedy for quick progress and try to force yourself into a certain posture. Once it backfires, it will inevitably cause harm.

3. Strengthen your self-confidence and don’t lose heart

The purpose of practicing yoga is to improve health and fitness. Do not compete with others. As long as you feel good, being better today than yesterday is a victory.

When you first start practicing, your body's flexibility is definitely not as good as you imagined. You should give yourself more time to adapt and don't get discouraged easily. You can also use external objects such as chairs and walls for support. After a period of practice, you can gradually achieve balance and then give up the auxiliary tools.

4. If you feel uncomfortable, stop practicing immediately and take a rest!

During the practice, if you feel uncomfortable, you should stop immediately and lie still for a few minutes.

When lying quietly, relax your whole body as much as possible, close your eyes, spread your feet shoulder-width apart, palms facing up, and take slow, deep breaths (use the "conscious breathing method" to first direct the air to Dantian, then exhale, remember that the exhalation should be longer than the inhalation), and continue practicing until you feel back to normal; or start practicing again after receiving guidance from a professional teacher.

5. The practice area should not be too hard or too soft

Yoga is one of the activities that is least restricted by location. It can be practiced in your living room, bedroom, balcony, or office as long as there is a space where you can lie down. Therefore, you can practice it comfortably even when traveling.

However, since yoga involves many soft movements, squeezing of limbs and muscles is inevitable during practice, so you should avoid practicing on a hard floor or a too soft spring bed, otherwise it is easy to cause abrasions or injuries due to loss of balance.

During menstruation, if your body's resistance is relatively poor, it is best to rest more. If your physical fitness allows, you can practice some yoga. However, it should be noted that there are some difficult movements that are best not to be done, especially inverted movements during menstruation. Practice according to your specific situation and don't force yourself.
