General Cautions
Before Beginning Yoga Practice

1. Students with back or hip discomfort, displaced vertebrae, spurs, arthritis, or other physical limitations should consult their physicians before beginning a Yoga practice.

2. Breath normally while in all of the Yoga poses. Relax the eyes, ears, throat, and abdomen.

3. Avoid exerting yourself beyond your capacity. Any pain or discomfort in a pose should be mild and temporary. Sharp or persistent pain is a sign of a physical problem or incorrect practice; consult your physician and/or a qualified Yoga instructor.

4. During menstruation, women should avoid the inverted poses.

5. Pregnant women should avoid deep forward bends or other poses that constrict or twist the abdomen.

6. Do not do the inverted poses if you have high blood pressure, heart problems, detached retina, or ear problems

7. Remember: no book, video, or other written instruction can take the place of personal instruction from a qualified Yoga instructor who can teach you the poses, make adjustments to the poses for any physical limitations you may have, and make corrections as you perform the poses!
