High-intensity exercises like running may not be appropriate. Instead, yoga and breathing exercises can be a good way to help reduce the pain caused by crampin...

In initial days of menstruation you feel very discomfort, pain , excessive bleeding, mood swings so performing asanas are very diffcult . In this time relaxation poses , meditation and breathing exercises are helpful.

Yoga help to ease a discomfort in manstrual period.Bhujangasana,Marjarasana,Matsyasana and Setubandasana are very important but these are to be done before manstrual period.It is advisable not to do any practice during manstrual days.Rest is very important and breathing exercises.

Hi. I am 23 years old female. It's been a year since I started performing this new asana routine but I still feel quite tired after performing it. I start with warm up exercises of the joints for 10 minutes(like rotating my feet,wrists,shoulders and neck. Also some butterfly.) This is followed by Tadasana 1minute, Trikonasana on both sides 1 minute, suryanamaskar 2 times( where I hold each pose for 10 seconds), ushtrasana 1 minute, janushirshasana with both legs 1 minute, pashchimotasan 1 minute, upvistha konasana, halasana 2 minutes, sarvangasana twice for 2 minutes and finally shavasana for 5 minutes. Is this too much?
dear anchal only do rotation and surya namaskar for 10 times and than do shavasa for 10 to 15 acc to your body carving for rest and you can do yog nidra also it takes 20 minutes it will surely help you .
