Yoga movements suitable for menstruation stretch your legs to relieve menstrual pain

You can do some stretching movements during your period to help the uterus relax. During menstruation, it is not recommended to do more intense yoga movements such as abdominal pressing to the ground or standing upside down to avoid stimulating the ovaries or causing excessive contraction of the uterus.

Yoga suitable for menstruation: Stretch your legs

Step1: Lay your upper body flat against the ground, bend your legs, and wrap your hands around your knees close to your chest.

Step2: Grab your toes with both hands to help extend your heels towards the ceiling. Bend your knees slightly and feel the back of your legs stretch.

Step3: Inhale and bend your knees. When exhaling, grab your toes with both hands to help your thighs get closer to your chest. When inhaling again, extend your heels towards the ceiling. When exhaling, move your knees apart. Stay for 5 to 10 deep breaths and repeat 2 to 3 times.

Warm tip: Stretch your legs to stretch the back of the legs, and use your thighs to gently massage the abdomen to help stimulate uterine contraction and smooth menstruation.
