Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Dear FBL, Your advice and insights are always very much appreciated, but you seem so grave and rigid. While I also prefer the more purist take on Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, let us not forget the joy and openness in our practice both on and of the mat. In any case, could you kindly please provide more elaboration on internal heat and menstruation? Namaste. ashtanga yoga wrote: ashtanga yoga ------ There are 2 messages in this issue.

The reasons for this have nothing to do with "blood flowing up the fallopian tubes" or any other such horsehooey, including "men imposing rules on women" - all fiction. It has to do with the internal heat generated in the practice. Also, I will remind you that this is a message board for Ashtanga Yoga. Someone asked about how menstruation is handled and I answered. Do whatever kind of yoga you want and do whatever you want during your period. This board is for Ashtanga and in Ashtanga Yoga we take three days off. No arguments. Have an opinion in response to that, but that is what is done and in my opinion, for good reason. I have been practicing this method for more than several years and I can tell you that it is very important if you practice Ashtanga.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Thank you Julie for offering the larger picture. When yoga is happening no matter what you call it it's still yoga.
