    Hiya!

    First off, this forum is a wonderful way to share information and tips with other Bikram practitioners from around the world 🙂 Thank you Gabrielle & Robert!

    Now my question is a ‘lady’ question since it pertains to the monthly ‘ailment’ [Men, shield your eyes or hop on to another thread!]

    Is it normal to be really inflexible right before your menses hits? After practicing for nearly 8 months, I’ve come to notice that about a week or two before I get my period my body feels like it’s made out of frozen meat! And to top it off, my balance is waaaay off and I keep toppling during my balancing series [which on my normal days, doesn’t happen that often]

    Would like to know if anyone else encounters the same sort of problem I have, or is there something wrong with me [perhaps lacking in my diet, etc?]

    Namaste,
    Mei

    well…. for me I too get a little stiff before. I can feel tired and cranky >:-( and my focus is off (probably resulting in trouble balancing)
    w/ the bloating and all the other fun things that go along w/ being a woman it would make a lot of sense that your practice would be affected. I’ve also seen warnings on yoga dvd’s about doing inverted poses? can any one clear that up?
