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 practice yoga during my moon time, I simply am more careful with navel

sets and do not practice breath of fire. I have been taught by Gururattan that

this is appropriate and have also read up on this and I listen to my own body.

I find that practicing yoga during my moon allows me to have a more cleansing

and comfortable cycle.

Sat nam,

yes a woman can most defenatly practice yoga during

her moon, what has been suggested is that we stay away

from any inverted postures, heavy breath of fire &

pumping of the naval... & no cold showers

I would agree with this also, for myself personally I

listen to my body & when there are times that I feel I

want to do my normal practice, I do & then there are

times when I feel the need to just be gentle with

myself, & yes that's OK too (: smiles

alot depends on where I am at in my cycle

enjoy your practice, Sat Nam
