Mental period and yoga seem to be mortal enemies.
There are only two ways to solve it.
One should not practice,
One should not practice,
One can practice as long as you don’t do a handstand,
But in fact, we should deal with it according to the situation.
often ask whether you can practice yoga during your menstrual period, and the answers you get from different teachers are also different, but most of the statements are that you should not practice the first three days, and avoid the inverted asanas in the next few days. In fact, everyone has different physiques, and the answer will vary from person to person.
Should you practice yoga during menstruation
Many people will have dysmenorrhea during menstruation and have large mood swings. Generally, it is recommended to rest at home or choose some repair poses to practice, such as the angular pose of supine lying with auxiliary tools. This pose is of great help to repair the body and stabilize the mood, especially those who are in their menstrual period or after going out for fun and exposed to the sun. During menstrual periods with good physique, you can even practice some positive yoga with less intensity, but you should pay attention to avoiding poses caused by the pelvis, and avoid doing exercises such as abdominal contraction.
However, during menstruation, many women do not like exercise, and many doctors give advice to pay attention to rest and nutritional supplements during menstruation. So why is it recommended to practice yoga?
Benefits of practicing yoga during menstruation
There are many coaches who recommend practicing during menstruation. In fact, it is not to make money, but yoga has many benefits for menstruation. For example, if you have low menstrual blood volume, you can promote blood circulation in the body through practice, reduce the burden on the pelvic cavity, and reduce congestion. At the same time, it can also reduce the problems of lower abdomen and abdominal pain. At the same time, menstrual exercises can help alleviate the problems of back pain caused by menstrual period. Sometimes the muscles in the core muscles of the abdominal muscles are too tight and are not conducive to the discharge of menstrual blood. Yoga practice during menstruation can relax these muscles and shorten the time for physical discomfort. Another key point is that yoga practice can relieve emotions, because yoga practice will release some pleasant hormones for the body, and after practicing for a long time, you can control your emotions.
However, some people say that menstrual periods begin to become disordered after practicing yoga. I have also come into contact with many such examples and people who have never exercised will experience menstrual disorders after starting yoga practice, such as early or delaying, the amount will change from small to large, from large to small, and even a short period of menstruation. If you have the above problems, don’t panic first. When you first start to get in touch with yoga, the body needs a period of time to debug and adapt. Many glands in the body, , nervous system, , and circulatory systems must be reassigned. During the reassignment, some disorders will occur. Give your body and yourself some time and observe more. You will find that the menstrual period gradually begins to stabilize, the problems of dysmenorrhea are improved, and your emotions are not easy to be excited.
How to practice during menstruation?
Many yoga schools have begun to set up yoga courses for menstruation. In fact, this is really good to do, avoiding conflicts between people during practice, and they can only watch but not do it. In addition, the practice of menstrual period does not necessarily require the menstrual period to be practiced. If the work pressure is too high, or the week before the menstrual period can be practiced, and the principles of practice are divided into the following points.
1, create space for the abdomen, do not oversqueeze
In fact, there are classifications for twisting, one is to twisting outward and the other is to twisting inward. Outward twisting, such as the Balavarga style, is more suitable for menstrual practice, while spinal torsion poses are not suitable because they will squeeze the abdomen, resulting in a decrease in abdominal space and put pressure on the pelvic cavity.
2, do not stretch the lower abdomen excessively, and try to avoid difficult back bends.
Asanas similar to camel styles, wheel styles should be avoided. Although they are not inverted practices, the stretching strength of the abdomen is too high. Extending the abdomen will also compress organs such as the uterus, which can easily lead to excessive menstrual blood.
3, do not use excessive force in the lower abdomen, and avoid poses such as tablets.
There will be a four-poster or plate-like addition in one round of worship. If you don’t pay attention, doing this pose regularly will make the uterus become nervous, which is not conducive to the excretion of menstrual blood.
4, avoid the inverted
In fact, many people know this knowledge point, in order to avoid menstrual blood reflux. However, this issue is also controversial internationally. There are many reasons for whether or not the handstand can be expressed, so for the sake of safety, we all choose to avoid the handstand.
In fact, practicing yoga during menstruation is not an anti-human behavior. The practice process will always encounter many physical problems. If you are sure that you can practice instead of showing off, then practice. If you feel that your condition is very bad, take a break first. You cannot truly benefit from yoga with a sense of doubt and resistance.
