Can I do yoga during menstruation?

Female compatriots are practicing yoga hard to have a hot body. Everyone knows that practicing yoga is beneficial for weight loss and recuperation. Nowadays, many big stars also do yoga every day to lose weight. However, yoga should be done in moderation, and more attention should be paid during menstruation. In addition, some people may ask if they can continue to do yoga during menstruation? So today I will explain it to you.

The menstrual period is a time when women's bodies are relatively weak. Not only should they pay attention to keeping warm and avoid eating raw or cold food, but most importantly, they should also avoid strenuous exercise. The onset of menstruation is the shedding and bleeding of the endometrium. If they exercise vigorously, it may cause retrograde flow of menstrual blood and cause endometriosis, etc.

This doesn't mean that women can't exercise during their menstrual period. As long as you do not have severe dysmenorrhea, excessive bleeding, or functional uterine bleeding, you can engage in some physical exercise appropriately. It can effectively improve and enhance the functional state of the human body, promote blood circulation, especially improve the blood circulation of the reproductive organs in the pelvic cavity and reduce congestion. So you can do yoga during menstruation.

Appropriate yoga movements can also cause the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles to contract and relax, which is beneficial to the discharge of menstrual blood and can relieve menstrual discomfort.

In addition, you can practice Hatha Yoga during menstruation, but avoid inverted positions such as headstand, shoulderstand, double angle pose, and movements that squeeze the abdomen. This must be kept in mind. During menstruation, you should pay attention to rest and reduce fatigue, so don't do yoga for too long. Keep warm and avoid eating spicy, raw, cold or irritating foods. Keep a happy mood and avoid excessive fatigue.

There are many things to pay attention to during menstruation, but that doesn’t mean you have to prohibit many activities. The editor would like to reiterate here: food should be controlled, and exercise should also be controlled. It is completely possible to do yoga during menstruation, but you must pay attention to the time, strength and posture. Some simple yoga is fine, but avoid doing inversions or intense yoga exercises and difficult movements.
