Can I practice yoga during my period?

Many women feel physical discomfort every time they have their period. It is also known that women are physically uncomfortable during these days. It is inconvenient to do anything. Even walking a little leisurely will be affected if you are not careful. If you don't pay attention to it, it is easy to cause frequent menstrual flow, too much or too little. If you do yoga during menstruation, it must be reasonable. So can you do yoga during menstruation?

Whether it is good to practice yoga during menstruation depends on your personal constitution. As long as your physical condition allows and you don't move up and down too quickly when practicing forward bends, you can practice it with confidence.

Everyone has a different physical constitution. Some people will be very weak during their menstrual period, and are prone to back pain, dysmenorrhea, and poor physical condition. This will be particularly uncomfortable in the first two days of the 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 most uncomfortable two days, you can do some soothing yoga exercises, not too intense, 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.

Some people are in good physical condition and their bodies do not react much during their menstrual period. Generally speaking, they can adapt to normal yoga practice. Even so, they should try to avoid inversion exercises, abdominal compression and contraction exercises (various abdominal contraction core exercises), and deep backbend exercises (overstretching the skin and muscles on the front of the abdomen can easily cause abdominal pain during menstruation).

You can do yoga during your menstruation, but there are many taboos to doing yoga during your menstruation. You must pay attention to the amount of yoga you do each time, and also pay attention to doing yoga appropriately. You cannot do it in large quantities. If the amount of exercise is too much, it will easily increase your menstrual flow. Do yoga easily every time you have your menstruation. Doing yoga during menstruation is best for weight loss.
