Movement & yoga is for everyone.

However, when online, it is up to the individual to assess whether they are ready for the class that they have chosen.

If you suffer from specific injuries or disease it is best to consult with your physician first.

 

Similarly if you are pregnant, follow the recommended practice recommended by your physician only.

​

The practice of yoga asanas requires you – the practitioner – to gauge the safety of your practice within your personal physical limitations. It is better to build up slowly than to force and strain. It is normal to feel muscle engagement, muscle fatigue and sometimes slight soreness after practice; however any pinching, numbness, tingling or sharp pain is NOT NORMAL and you should exit the pose immediately.

The techniques and suggestions presented in this website are not intended to substitute for proper medical advice. Consult your physician before beginning any new exercise program.
