Can you do inversions during your period? Science Answers // Interview with Mary Flaherty

Описание: Should you do inversions when you have your period or not. I'm thrilled to be able to give you some answers.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Mary Flaherty, psychologist, researcher, yogi, and science communicator and the author of a book I highly recommend you add to your yoga library: Does Yoga Work? Answers from Science. Tune in to this 9 minute video where Mary shares with us what science has discovered and what i hasn't on whether to do inversions or not to do inversion.

Of course it’s always your decision what you end up doing. Do what feels right for you!

All details about Mary below. Let us know your thoughts and how yoga helps you.

Sincerely,
Anita Goa

About Mary Flaherty

Dr. Mary Flaherty is a psychologist, researcher, yogi, and science communicator. Born in Ireland, she first learned yoga from a Catholic nun (in full habit) over 40 years ago and has been practising since. Mary has been teaching yoga for more than twenty years, and has given classes to monks in the Himalayas, to seniors on the Barrier Reef and to hikers on the Appalachian Trail.

Her passion for teaching and her academic career have taken her to universities in Japan, Singapore, Australia, the United States, South America and Europe. Her research articles, published in peer-reviewed journals are on a broad range of topics such as the effect of yoga on low back sensitivity, how Spanish speakers view gender in cartoon characters and how yoga effects body image. She is an unashamed nerd, and likes nothing better than curling up with a pile of research papers to read.
