Yoga poses for menstruation

Menstruation is a period that every woman goes through every month. During this period, you should be careful not to eat raw, cold, or irritating foods, and not to do strenuous exercise. Moreover, many women suffer from dysmenorrhea, and even with careful care, they cannot get rid of this pain. At this time, you need to think of some ways to reduce the discomfort of menstruation through external activities other than medication, and yoga is the best choice.

1. Hero's Forward Bend: Stand on your knees with your knees wide open. Use your hands to extend the spine forward, put your hands on the ground, and place your head on the yoga mat. Bend and stretch forward: sit cross-legged, put your hands forward on the ground, extend your spine, and place your head on the yoga brick.

2. Single-leg forward bend: bend your right foot, straighten your left and right feet, curl your toes back, use the yoga chair to extend the spine, and place your head on the yoga chair. Half-hero forward bend: sit in a semi-hero position, use the yoga chair to extend the spine, and place your head on the yoga chair. Double-leg forward bend: sit in a double-leg forward bend position, use the yoga chair to extend the spine. Reclining Hero Pose: Reclining Hero Pose can be performed with the help of a yoga pillow. Relax the spine and lie on your back in bound angle pose: As in the above supine bound angle pose, use a yoga pillow to relax the spine.

3. Sitting Angle Pose : Slightly raise your buttocks, open your sitting angle pose, and hook your toes. Bound Angle Pose: Slightly raise your hips, put your feet together, and do Bound Angle Pose. Inverted Cane Pose: With the help of yoga aids, relax the spine and lower the head. Bridge shoulder stand, place the yoga brick under your hips in a bridge pose, with your head and shoulders touching the mat. Corpse pose, on the first day after the end of the menstrual period, do headstand, shoulder stand, and then do the above poses in sequence for two days.

4. Practicing yoga can 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, reduce symptoms such as abdominal pain during menstruation, and relieve restlessness during menstruation. But 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.

5. The first set of back stretches (stand or sit, stretch your arms upwards while inhaling, exhale and move your arms forward and then downward, bringing your body as close to your legs as possible). This action can relieve abdominal pain during menstruation, relax the nervous system and stabilize emotions. The second set of Crescent Pose (bend one leg at the knee, take a big step back with the other leg, inhale and raise your arms upwards, exhale and move your body backwards with your head tilted back). This action can stimulate the pelvic organs and promote blood circulation; however, it is not recommended to do it in the first two days of heavy menstruation. The third group of camel poses (kneel on the mat with both knees, support the sides of the waist with both hands, inhale and lift the chest, open the shoulders, push the hips forward when exhaling, lean back, support the waist with hands or put them on the heels.
