Can I practice yoga during my period?

The female friends around the editor also like to practice yoga very much, not only because the exercise intensity of yoga is not that high, but also because its ability to regulate the human body is very strong. At the same time, it also has very good fitness and weight loss effects, so it is deeply loved by many female friends. At this time, many friends will ask, can women practice yoga during menstruation?

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.

For example, the supine bound angle pose. After the two most uncomfortable days, you can do some relaxing yoga exercises, not too intense, which can 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.

People may also ask if Downward Dog and Double Angle Pose can be done during menstruation? The answer is yes. Some teachers think that these poses are also semi-inverted poses of the body, and practicing them during menstruation will easily cause menstrual blood reflux. However, in fact, menstrual blood reflux is mainly a pressure problem in the body, such as in the Downward Dog pose and the Standing Forward Bend pose.

Although the upper body and even the pelvis are in an inverted state, the position of our lower limbs has not changed and the pressure in the body has not changed, so it is not easy to cause menstrual blood reflux. As long as your physical condition allows and you do not move up and down too quickly when practicing forward bending, you can practice it with confidence.

In fact, it is best for women not to practice yoga during their menstrual period, because it is very likely to cause harm to the female body. However, if you must practice it, it is okay. There are also many movements that are suitable for women to exercise during their menstrual period. You can make a choice based on your actual situation.
