For some women during their menstrual period, it is a torture. During this period, their temper may be rather bad, and the physical discomfort may lead to mental disorder, making it difficult for them to do anything, let alone exercise. But for some people who are interested in yoga, daily exercise has become a habit and cannot be stopped. So is it good to do yoga during menstruation? Generally speaking, it is not suitable for women to practice yoga during menstruation. However, through specific yoga exercises during menstruation, blood circulation in the lower body can be promoted, the pelvis can be exercised, and most importantly, a slim waist can be achieved. It can prevent fat accumulation in the abdomen and can help girls with irregular menstruation periods get an adjustment. Doing some yoga poses during menstruation can help blood circulation, relieve menstrual discomfort, calm mood swings, calm anxiety and depression, and reduce edema. For example, cat pose, tiger pose, butterfly pose, bound legs pose, and wreath pose are all suitable for menstruation. It is best not to practice inversions, abdominal contractions, and energy-boosting poses during menstruation. All inverted postures (such as plow pose, headstand, shoulder stand, etc.), postures that squeeze the abdomen (such as back extension pose, single-leg extension pose), and intense postures that put a lot of stress on the body (such as wheel pose) will cause discomfort to the body due to physiological problems. Doing inversions or positions that squeeze the abdomen during menstruation will cause some of the menstrual blood that should have been discharged from the body to remain in the body, affecting menstrual health. 2. Avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation. You can practice some gentle stretching postures to massage your body. Do some gentler standing or kneeling poses, such as bow pose, triangle pose, tree pose, cat pose, snake pose, etc. 3. Avoid all inversion positions (positions where the uterus is higher than the heart), which will interfere with the natural process of the body's energy detoxifying downward during menstruation. 4. Postures that are too intense and can easily cause tension and fatigue, standing or balancing postures for too long, violent backbends, postures with violent abdominal contractions and movements, jumping, movements that use arms to support the whole body for balance, and difficult postures should all be avoided during menstruation. Women who like yoga can engage in this sport even during their menstrual period, but it is not recommended to do some difficult poses or poses that require a lot of exercise, as this will cause damage to the body. Doing some gentle postures can relieve the pressure on the body and have a certain soothing effect on the pain during menstruation. |
