When I first started practicing yoga, this question was always a barrier in my mind. After a good exchange with my instructor, the notion was clearer to me. I realized that this time of the month is just another normal day in our lives and there's no need to miss our practice.
While the basics of menstruation are something all women have in common, each woman experiences her period differently. Though most would agree that it's not the most enjoyable time of each month.
Even though we know that light exercise is actually good for us, the bed always looks more inviting. Then there are other worries like stains and stretching your legs while battling killer cramps etc. It all seems too much and the only options that seems reasonable is to not try at all.
You'll be surprised to know that only is yoga during menstruation safe and healthy but it's also something that yoga experts and doctors encourage women to do during periods. Shocked? Wait, there’s more…
Yoga on menstruation can help energize you, soothe your cramps and relieves you of tension in the body and overall makes you feel a lot better. But it's important to listen to your body. Infact, Yoga teaches you to listen to your body, so use this skill when deciding whether to practice and what to practice.
Don't hesitate to carry your yoga mat and head to practice. You're sure to feel better since it infuses positivity during hormonal turmoil.
