Can I practice yoga during my period?

Yoga is a fitness exercise from India. It emphasizes consistency and harmony. However, there are many taboos and precautions in practicing yoga. For example, people who have just recovered from a serious illness, osteoporosis patients, students with large mood swings, and people in poor physical condition should not do yoga. Many girls are concerned about whether they can practice yoga during menstruation?

Yoga means "unity", "combination" or "harmony". Yoga originated in ancient India and is one of the six major philosophical schools in ancient India. What modern people call yoga is mainly a series of methods of self-cultivation and mind-nourishing. Yoga is not just a set of popular or fashionable fitness exercises. Yoga is a very ancient method of energy knowledge cultivation, which combines philosophy, science and art.

Many female friends ask if they can practice yoga during menstruation? If possible, which poses should not be practiced? Each of us has a different physical constitution. Some students will be very weak during their menstrual period, and are prone to back pain, dysmenorrhea, and poor physical condition. Such students will feel particularly uncomfortable in the first two days of their menstrual period. The best way at this time is to rest, or do restorative yoga poses, such as the supine bound angle pose. After the two most uncomfortable days, you can do some soothing yoga exercises without too high intensity to help your body recover. During your non-menstrual period, pay attention to strengthening your posture and breathing exercises, which can help improve your physical condition and avoid problems such as dysmenorrhea.

There are also some students who are in good physical condition and their bodies do not react too much during their menstrual period. Generally speaking, they can adapt to normal yoga practice. Even so, they should try to avoid inversion exercises and abdominal squeezing and contraction exercises.

To sum up, girls can do yoga during their menstrual period, but they must pay attention and master the correct method, such as avoiding inverted exercises or strenuous exercise. Girls with symptoms of dysmenorrhea and discomfort should interrupt yoga practice in time to better protect their bodies.
