What kind of yoga can I do during menstruation?

Women should not do strenuous exercise during menstruation, but this does not mean that they cannot exercise. As long as they do not do strenuous exercise, some light exercise is still necessary. Some people asked me, what kind of yoga can girls do during menstruation? In fact, there are a lot of yoga that girls can do during menstruation. You just need to lay a yoga mat on the floor and you can easily do yoga at home.

In India, women call their menstrual period "moonday," a day for introspection, retreat, rest, purification, and meditation. From a physiological point of view, due to the impact of changes in hormone secretion on physical strength and emotions, it is recommended to minimize intense and busy external activities and stimulation, and instead enter a state of introspection and meditation.

Working women may not have much choice to "retreat" when they have to go to work, but they can still practice moving, working and interacting with people in a low-key and retreating mentality during these days and change the way they practice yoga. In principle, practicing yoga during menstruation should help us eliminate discomfort and fatigue, restore physical strength, stabilize emotions, and maintain inner peace (although the opposite is often the case). The degree to which each woman is affected physically and mentally during menstruation varies. Therefore, ladies who practice yoga regularly should develop an inner "awareness", listen to the signals sent by the body and mind, and use your intuition to judge whether you should practice asanas today, what to practice and how to practice, etc. No one can make decisions for you except yourself.

You can choose to take a complete break and stop any asana practice, or you can choose very gentle practices to better relax, such as supine and forward-bending poses, either sitting on the ground or supported by a cushion.

Although yoga can shape girls' bodies, people who practice yoga for a long time may feel uncomfortable if they don't do yoga for a day. However, during the days when menstruation comes, it is recommended that you do not do large-scale yoga and can do some simpler and more convenient movements. After doing yoga, everyone should make sure to rest, because girls’ bodies are relatively weak during those days.
