Can I practice yoga during my period? What poses are safe/unsafe?
-
I need some advice!
So, I’ve been practicing yoga consistently for the past 3 months and I really enjoy it.
However, whenever my period comes, I usually skip classes or cancel sessions as I’ve always assumed it’s better to rest during those days…especially since I’ve started to exercise quite recently.But recently I read that gentle yoga might actually make periods easier by helping with cramps and mood swings. I’m still not sure what’s okay and what isn’t.
Should I try practicing during my period? What kind of poses are safe, and are there any I should definitely avoid Would love some guidance from teachers or anyone who’s been through this!!
