Yes, you absolutely can—and for many women, it actually helps. Hormone levels affect how the body feels, but movement is safe throughout the cycle. During the first days of your period, the uterus is more sensitive, and you might feel tired or heavy. That’s a good time for gentler activity and rest when needed.

After menstruation, estrogen rises, bringing energy and faster recovery. Around ovulation, strength often peaks. Later in the luteal phase, energy may dip again—yoga, walking, or light cardio can feel more natural then.

Movement supports your body, but pressure does not. It’s not about pushing—it’s about listening.

Alma’s tip:

Think of exercise as partnership, not performance. Adjust it to your energy and mood each week. Your cycle isn’t a limit—it’s a rhythm you can work with.
