Walking or engaging in other moderate exercises before menstruation can make you feel more comfortable during menstruation. Practicing yoga has a calming effect.

Kneel on a mat with your hands supporting your body, feet slightly apart, and thighs and legs forming a 90-degree angle. Relax your back and waist. When inhaling, lift your hips, arch your back, and stretch your chin. Hold this position for about 10 breaths. When exhaling, contract your abdomen, hunch your back, and lower your head. Hold for about 10 breaths, and the exercise is complete.
