Can women practice yoga after abortion?

Nowadays, with the openness of people's sexual concepts, many women have to undergo abortion due to careless sexual life. However, some women will find that their bodies have some imbalance of qi and blood, or even sub-health conditions such as insomnia and nightmares after an abortion, so they want to regain their healthy bodies through yoga. So can women practice yoga after abortion? Let me give you a scientific and complete explanation!

There will be huge psychological fluctuations after an abortion. In addition to dietary adjustments, you can also perform certain yoga exercises, which is very beneficial for the physical and psychological adjustment of women in this period. Yoga exercises during this period should be based on each person's comfort and coordinated with each person's physical condition. If you feel uncomfortable during practice, stop immediately.

1. Breathing exercises: Do abdominal breathing frequently to strengthen the lower abdominal muscles to protect the spine and the organs in the pelvic and abdominal cavities. You should also do alternate-nostril breathing frequently, because this exercise works on the nervous system and can quickly calm the emotions. This exercise can be performed every day to relieve daily stress.

2. Exercises to train the pelvic muscles: Relax completely, perform abdominal breathing, contract and pull the perineum muscles upward when inhaling, and relax when exhaling.

3. Exercise the abdominal and lumbar muscles: You can use the lying cannonball exercise, lying on your back with your legs bent, hugging your knees in front of your chest, and combining it with abdominal breathing. This can strengthen the lumbar and pelvic floor muscles and prevent vaginal relaxation. When doing the lying cannonball pose, you should raise your feet so that your lumbar spine is close to the ground. You don't need to raise your head, and you should relax your neck.

4. Spinal stretching: Sit on a chair, straighten your back, and gently stretch your hands downward on both sides of the body. Inhale, open your arms to the sides of the body, stretch over the top of your head and stretch upward. Exhale, and gently stretch downward.

5. Small waist twist (sitting twist, standing twist, supine twist)

6. Kneeling exercise: Cat back and cow back exercises can exercise the strength of muscles throughout the body and also have a relaxing effect.

The above are yoga exercises to be performed 1 to 6 weeks after an abortion. After six weeks, the body has basically recovered completely, and from a physical point of view, you can start practicing regular yoga. If you feel weak, start with a lower intensity until you feel you can adapt to a higher intensity. I wish your student a good recovery in yoga!

Through the above detailed explanations, I believe that women should have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the question of whether they can practice yoga after abortion! In addition, I would like to explain that although yoga is very beneficial for us to get rid of sub-health conditions, we must arrange suitable courses according to our physical condition when practicing yoga, so as to avoid the occurrence of some side effects.
