Cat yoga relieves dysmenorrhea and slimming

Yoga is a gentle exercise that can be done by anyone at any time and anywhere. Except for girls who should avoid handstands during menstruation to avoid backflow of menstrual blood, the "cat pose" is a yoga posture that is very suitable for menstruation.

Because it can strengthen the blood reflux in the abdominal cavity, make menstrual blood drain smoother, and relieve menstrual pain and discomfort; in addition, because it can also extend the back and spine, for people who often sit in the office, the stiff shoulders and necks that often occur, and prone to backache also have a soothing effect.

Step1 Adopt a kneeling position, support your palms and knees on the ground, and open your palms about the same width as your shoulders.

Step2 Exhale slowly, holding your palms unchanged, press your body down and extend until your chest is pressed against the ground, your chin is on the floor, and your eyes look forward.

Step3 Maintain the previous movement, straighten your arms forward and stretch them as far as possible, and press your upper body as far as possible. Feel your hips extend upward and your arms tighten.

Step4 People with a foundation in yoga can continue to do the enhanced extension movements, maintain the posture in Step 3, then stretch your arms upward, hold your hands alternately and apply force to extend upward. Feel the tension of the shoulder and moon bones. Hold your breath for 10 seconds and relax. (Editor in charge: Deng Qi)
