As International Yoga Day approaches, conversations around mindful wellness and listening to one's body are gaining momentum. One of the most common questions women ask is whether they should continue practicing yoga during menstruation. While periods often bring cramps, fatigue, bloating and mood swings, experts say yoga doesn't necessarily have to stop during this time.
In fact, the right kind of yoga can help ease discomfort and promote relaxation, provided it is approached gently and according to individual comfort levels.
Expert guidance:
Dr. Sabrina Bokil, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Jupiter Hospital, Pune, says there is no fixed rule against exercising during periods, but women should be mindful of their energy levels. "Don't try to work through the pain or discomfort. If you get tired, cut back on the length or intensity of your workout," she advises.
