Practicing yoga has become a very fashionable sport. Nowadays, many urban white-collar workers like to do yoga indoors, because regular yoga can not only relax the mood, but also find the tranquility that is not available in urban life. But can women practice yoga during menstruation? What should you pay attention to when practicing yoga during menstruation? Let’s take a look with the editor below! Based on this principle, exercises that should be avoided during menstruation are: 1) Avoid all inversion postures (those in which the uterus is higher than the heart), which interfere with the natural downward detoxification process of the body's energy (apana) during menstruation. 2) Postures that are too intense and can easily cause tension and fatigue. 3) Maintaining a standing or balancing posture for too long. 4) Intense backbending movements such as bow pose, camel pose, wheel pose, etc. 5) All postures that involve intense abdominal contraction and movement such as abdominal rotation (jatharaparivartanasana), supine leg raise (urdhva prasaritapadasana) and boat pose (navasana). 6) Jump. 7) Use your arms to support your whole body balance. 8) Avoid difficult postures or learn new postures. In principle, practicing yoga during menstruation should help us eliminate discomfort and fatigue, restore physical strength, stabilize emotions, and maintain inner peace (although the opposite is often the case). The degree to which each woman is affected physically and mentally during menstruation varies. Therefore, ladies who practice yoga regularly should develop an inner "hearing" to listen to the signals sent by the body and mind, and use your intuition to judge whether you should practice asanas today, what to practice and how to practice, etc. No one can make decisions for you except yourself. You can choose to take a complete break and stop any asana practice, or you can choose very gentle practices to better relax, such as supine and forward-bending poses, either sitting on the ground or supported by a cushion. The editor reminds women that it is best not to practice yoga during menstruation, because during menstruation, electrical stimulation will not only cause women to have dysmenorrhea, but may also cause back pain and other adverse conditions. Women during menstruation should choose to eat more light foods and try not to eat spicy and irritating foods. |
