menstruation

[Guest guest]

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.

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.
