How yoga can help when you’re fasting
Fasting can lead to fluctuating energy levels. 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 improve blood flow and revitalise you without pushing your body to depletion.
Meditation cultivates inner calm and mental focus, helping you conserve energy, reduce stress and anxiety. By incorporating these mindful activities into your Ramadan routine, you can navigate energy dips with grace.
Physical benefits of yoga during Ramadan
Enhanced blood circulation. Gentle yoga poses promote simple movement and stretching, which can help increase blood flow. This improved circulation delivers oxygen and essential nutrients to your cells more efficiently.
Improved muscle tone. Routines can help maintain muscle and flexibility. Holding poses for short periods and practicing controlled movements can help prevent muscle loss.
Boosted metabolism. Yoga can still elevate your heart rate and stimulate your metabolism. This slight increase in metabolic activity can help regulate blood sugar levels, a common concern during fasting.
Reduced soreness. Stretching and mindful movements of yoga can help reduce muscle tension and stiffness.
Improved sleep quality. The relaxation techniques and mindful breathing exercises incorporated into yoga can help quiet the mind and promote deeper sleep. Back to top
Yoga poses to try during Ramadan
The Bow Pose. Known as dhanurasana, this pose resembles an archer’s bow and is beneficial to relieving mild backache, fatigue and anxiety. It can also help with general weight loss, helps to correct posture and ensures efficient functioning of the abdominal organs.
Warrior 1 Pose. Virbhadrasana I is very beneficial. Not only does it help to strengthen shoulders, arms, legs and back, it also improves focus, balance and stability. It energises the body by encouraging blood circulation and improved respiration.
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 when done correctly. Back to top
