Inversions during your period not really a worry for endometriosis.

I thought this was interesting considering what I’ve always been told.

And thought I would open it up here for discussion as well.

Hmm...I heard the only reason that it is advised against is that the original practitioners believed that inverted poses would affect the flow of energy, which during menstruation, would be downward.

I don't practice enough that I've ever really even had the chance to do yoga on my period.

I like doing Pilates during that time, though...it really helps with cramps.
