Can I practice Pilates during my menstrual period?
In fact, both yoga and pilates can be practiced during the physiological period, but special attention should be paid: some movements cannot be done!
For example, you can't do handstands during menstruation! (Because blood originally flows out, if you stand upside down, blood may flow into the uterus, so this action must not be done during menstruation. )
Any other action is ok. If you really don't feel at ease, discuss with the coach before practice!
Can I practice Pilates during my menstrual period?
Pilates training method is a kind of physical fitness system-a kind of static fitness exercise, which was founded and popularized by Joseph Pilates in Germany in 1926. Westerners always pay attention to the training of body muscles and physiological functions, such as waist, abdomen, back, chest and buttocks, while orientals pay attention to the training of breathing and concentration, such as yoga and Tai Chi. Pilates absorbs the eastern and western cultures and is compatible with the related research results of physiology and psychology. At first, Pilates was only used in two major fields, namely, muscle training of professional dance groups and the recovery of physical function and muscle strength of patients after rehabilitation in medical rehabilitation institutions.
With the development of modern society, Pilates has continuously made some humanized improvements, incorporating some ideas of yoga, Tai Ji Chuan and ballet and the personalized content of coaches. The training method of Pilates is to follow the exercise principle of using one's own weight, many times, small weight and meditation. The breathing mode during training is nasal inhalation, which is an external training for muscle shape and joints. The purpose of training is to improve the human spine and lumbar spine by changing the muscle function.
Pilates does not exercise much, and proper exercise is harmless to the body.

Pilates is the main crowd.
Office workers who lack exercise sit in the office all the year round, making their muscles lose strength and prone to backache. Over time, even their body lines are out of shape. Pilates helps to re-stretch tight muscles, just like doing deep massage, and at the same time practice muscle endurance to evenly distribute body pressure.
Many people "sit" on the computer every day, and the "lifebuoy" formed on their waistlines is getting bigger and bigger. Pilates exercises the muscles of the abdomen, side waist, back and buttocks, which can not only remove the "life buoy", but also relieve psychological pressure.
