      It’s okay to make something simple! And it has to be appropriate...

      Postures that cannot be practiced: All inverted postures (such as plow pose, headstand, shoulder stand, etc.), abdominal squeezing postures (such as back extension, single-leg extension), strenuous postures (such as wheel pose) that require high body endurance, etc. If you feel uncomfortable, stop immediately

      You can do some standing or kneeling postures that are gentle on the body (such as yoga body mudra, kowtow pose, triangle pose, tree pose, cat pose, snake pose, etc.)

      It is not suitable to do inversions or squeezing the abdomen during menstruation. This will cause some menstrual blood that should be discharged from the body to remain in the body, affecting the menstrual period. healthy . Avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation and practice some gentle stretching postures to massage your body. After the menstrual period, practicing more yoga (including inversions and other postures) can eliminate the symptoms of discomfort during menstruation and benefit the body and mind.
