For your safety and well-being, yogawdGarima strongly recommends the following guidelines:

Before Practice

✅ Consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have any medical conditions
✅ Inform your yoga teacher about any injuries, limitations, or health concerns
✅ Warm up adequately before attempting any asanas
✅ Practice on an empty stomach (wait at least 2–3 hours after a meal)

During Practice

✅ Breathe steadily — never hold your breath unless specifically instructed in pranayama
✅ Use props (blocks, straps, blankets) as needed for support and alignment
✅ Move mindfully — avoid jerky or forced movements
✅ Stay within your comfortable range of motion
❌ Do not push through sharp or sudden pain
❌ Do not compare your practice to others
❌ Do not attempt advanced poses without proper preparation and guidance

After Practice

✅ Always conclude with Savasana (Corpse Pose) for relaxation
✅ Hydrate and nourish your body
✅ Note any unusual discomfort and consult a professional if it persists

Special Considerations

Pregnancy: Practice only prenatal-specific yoga under qualified guidance
Menstruation: Avoid inversions and intense abdominal work; gentle practice is generally safe
Hypertension: Avoid breath retention, inversions, and poses that cause strain
Back injuries: Avoid deep forward bends and twists without modification and guidance
