Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 This is so interesting to read all posts on issue of menstruation/practice. I also think you need to do what feels right, at the end of the day some of us cannot make it without painkillers during first three days (me), others - hardly notice any change. In some cultures period is perceived as some sort of "disease", abnormality, this could be a reason why some schools would teach no practice by all means on "those days". Just a thought. greetings, Edyta I agree with sally. I decided some years ago that menstruation is not an obstacle to my practice and I just listen to my body about the practice. Having a menstruation doesn't make my body feel any different so I can't think of any excuse or idea why I wouldn't practice during that time of the month. I am also a yoga teacher and I never ask women to alter their practice on "those" days. I always tell everyone to honor their bodies and listen to them for yoga should be a harmonizing of the body, mind and soul. sincerely, jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
