How yoga can help when you are fasting

Fasting can cause energy levels to fluctuate. Yoga and meditation can help because they don’t require intense exertion so you can manage your energy without breaking your fast. Yoga poses designed for gentle stretching and strengthening can increase blood flow and revitalize you without wearing out your body.

Meditation cultivates inner calm and mental focus, helps you conserve energy, reduces stress and anxiety. By incorporating these mindful activities into your Ramadan routine, you can cope well with energy dips.

Physical benefits of yoga during Ramadan

Improved blood circulation. Gentle yoga poses encourage simple movement and stretching, which can help increase blood flow. This increased circulation delivers oxygen and essential nutrients to your cells more efficiently.

Increased muscle tone. Routines can help maintain muscle tone and flexibility. Holding poses for short periods of time and practicing controlled movements can help prevent muscle loss.

Increases metabolism. Yoga can still increase your heart rate and stimulate your metabolism. This slight increase in metabolic activity can help regulate blood sugar levels, which is a common concern during fasting.

Reduces pain. Mindful stretches and yoga movements can help reduce muscle tension and stiffness.

Improved sleep quality. The relaxation techniques and mindful breathing exercises incorporated into yoga can help calm the mind and promote deeper sleep. Back to top

Yoga poses to try during Ramadan

Bow Pose. Known as dhanurasana, this pose resembles an archer’s bow and is useful for relieving mild back pain, fatigue and anxiety. It can also aid general weight loss, help improve posture and ensure efficient function of the abdominal organs.

Warrior Pose 1. Virbhadrasana I is very beneficial. Not only does it help strengthen your shoulders, arms, legs, and back, but it also improves focus, balance, and stability. It energizes the body by encouraging blood circulation and improving breathing.

Child’s pose. It stretches the hips, thighs and ankles while calming an overactive mind and releasing stress and fatigue. It is great for relieving back and neck pain if done correctly. Back to top
