Can women continue with their yoga practice during their menses?
A woman must avoid rigorous practice during her menses till the time it stops. It is best to relax at his point of time for which Savasana is specially recommended. Certain postures such as inversions (headstands, shoulder stands, etc.) are best avoided during menstruation–especially during heavy flow days. Practice during this period can lead to extensive bleeding and inverted postures can disrupt the menstrual flow.
