I have been practicing Ashtanga for 18 months now and have found that I am

very stiff in the pelvic area around the time of my cycle through the first

few days. According to the true laws of Ashtanga, we are not suposed to

practice then. Also, do not do the inverted poses. The backflow of the

cycle can create a problem if it flows into the stomache and outer vaginal

area. That is how endometriosis is formed. This is not a falicy, it is

fact. I do practice at times just before, but I find that I am usually

tired, and stiff.

Namaste
