Can you practice inversions or do yoga during periods?

The practice of yoga during menstruation is a personal choice and can depend on individual factors such as energy levels, comfort, and personal preference. However, many yoga teachers and experts advise avoiding inverted poses during menstruation, especially if the flow is heavy or painful. This is because inversions can disrupt the natural flow of energy and blood in the body and cause discomfort. Instead, gentle and restorative poses that support the body and promote relaxation can be practiced during this time. It is always best to listen to your body and avoid any postures or practices that cause discomfort or pain during menstruation.
