Can women practice yoga during menstruation?

During a special period for female friends, there are many things that they cannot do. For example, you cannot eat spicy or cold food, or engage in strenuous exercise. So, can women practice yoga during menstruation? I believe this is a question that many female friends want to know very much. As a fitness exercise that is loved by all people, what are the taboos for female friends when practicing yoga? Let’s take a look below.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. The symptoms such as low back pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, etc. during menstruation are always unpleasant. When I was young, I often suffered from dysmenorrhea. Later, after I came into contact with yoga, I gradually tried to practice during my menstrual period (of course, I should practice selectively according to my physical condition).

After persisting for a period of time, I found that the practice was not as terrible as I had imagined. On the contrary, I felt that my body and spirit were much better than before I practiced yoga. The abdominal pain was also improved, so I continued to practice yoga during my menstruation. Over time, the dysmenorrhea phenomenon disappeared, and many symptoms of menstrual discomfort also gradually went away from me, and my facial complexion became better and better.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, it is still recommended that you practice yoga, which will have many benefits for the body. Practicing yoga will promote blood circulation throughout the body, nourish the spinal nerves, balance the internal organs, help regulate menstruation, speed up blood circulation in the pelvic organs, reduce congestion of the pelvic and abdominal gonads, and reduce symptoms such as abdominal pain during menstruation.

However, it should be noted that if the menstrual flow is too heavy in the first two days of your period, it is better to rest and do simple meditation or breathing exercises.

Yoga is a kind of exercise that regulates the body and mind. We should feel it and enjoy it with a relaxed attitude. Dysmenorrhea is not terrible. What is terrible is our attitude towards it. Nowadays, many adolescent girls suffer from dysmenorrhea, which often makes them feel miserable. In addition to taking some measures during menstruation, such as taking medicine or resting in bed, they should also do some relaxing exercises. The best way is to practice yoga.

The above is an introduction on whether you can practice yoga during menstruation. It is recommended that female friends pay attention to making relevant adjustments in their diet when practicing yoga. Even if you can practice yoga, it is best to maintain an appropriate amount of exercise and not to do it too intensely, otherwise it will easily affect the menstrual cycle of female friends and endanger their health.
