There is quite a bit of controversy about whether doing certain asanas can be harmful during menstruation.

The following article may give you some more insight http://www.yoga.com/ydc/enlighten/enlighten_document.asp?ID=74&section=9&cat=93

Additionally, the following book discusses this topic in depth http://www.yoga.com/acb/stores/1/product1.asp?SID=1&Product_ID=1444

Please do let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Namaste,
Emily
