What are some yoga movements that can regulate endocrine?

Yoga is a sport that is very suitable for women. Many women are not willing to participate in sports that involve intense physical collisions or high amounts of exercise, so yoga is a good choice. Not only is yoga not restricted to any venue and can be performed indoors or outdoors, but yoga is also a flexible and quiet sport, which is more in line with women's requirements for exercise. Yoga also has many benefits. So what are the yoga movements that can regulate endocrine system?

(1) Standing forward stretch pose:

Standing forward bend, downward dog, double angle pose, enhanced side stretch (preferably with head support), etc. are all beneficial for women during menstruation.

In order to avoid excessive compression of the abdomen, women must pay attention to slightly contracting their abdomen backwards when completing the pose. However, women who suffer from body pain, lumbar pain, low energy, or sudden drop in blood sugar should avoid these poses!

Half Moon Pose and Standing Big Toe Hold Pose (sideways) help to curb heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, and abdominal cramps. Women with lumbar sciatica and herniated disc should include these two poses in their practice sequence.

(2) Supine postures:

Poses such as Reclining Hero Pose, Reclining Bound Angle Pose, Reclining Auspicious Pose, Fish Pose, and Reclining Hand Touching Big Toe Pose II (using a strap, bolster, or blanket for support) can relax muscles and nerves that are in a state of tension, fatigue, and excitement in daily life. It helps to relax and relieve spasms and tense organs, minimizing the loss of life energy.

Women who have difficulty breathing, chest tightness, difficulty urinating, heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal cramps, mental excitement and hyperactivity will find these poses very effective in alleviating these symptoms.

(3) Simple forward stretch poses:

Practicing asanas such as Child's Pose, One-Legged Back Stretch, One-Leg Kneeling Back Stretch, Half Lotus One-Legged Back Stretch, Sage Marichyasana, Seated Angle Side Stretch, and Seated Angle Front Stretch can gently inhibit excessive menstrual blood flow, relax the abdomen, and allow excited brain cells to rest. These poses are ideal for women who are experiencing headaches, back pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal cramps, and fatigue.

The most basic yoga movement is breathing. Practicing yoga movements can help regulate endocrine and relax the whole body. Both pregnant women and postpartum women can practice yoga. Practicing yoga at different times will produce different effects and benefits. You can practice according to the movements introduced in the article.
