yoga during menstruation? warning:womens period mentioned..

[Guest guest]

hi there,

 

as is invariably my age old tradition, I will finally get around

to "starting" to do yoga 1/2 days before I start my menstruation. I

know a woman is not meant to do yoga during her period (or am I worng?)

 

But to my dismay my new found energy and determination does not last

the 5 day famine of yoga and the cycle of wishing I would do yoga

begins again...

 

I'm at the end of my tether....is there yoga that women can do at her

monthly time> Or any other suggestions for me?

i have always heard from my teachers that it is FINE to do yoga during

your period, only to avoid inversions and to only lightly pump the

navel. i understand some even feel it is fine to do inversions. for

certain, i have *never* heard that one must take 5 days off!!

intuitive healer sums it up when she says do what feels right for you.

forward bends and other inner-focused work seems to feel very natural to

me during my period.

explore, enjoy!

Sat Nam,

 

I love to do very nurturing practices during my moon time with lots of

pranayam and relaxation. I also like to focus on tuning into and

working with my femine/moon energy during sadhana at this time. It is

sometimes a good reminder for me to slow down and stay with the subtle

in my practice...

 

Much love & light,

Gurubala/Aleta
