The information on SarvYoga is provided for general yoga education and informational purposes. It is not medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for diagnosis, treatment or individual guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
Practise Within Your Abilities
Yoga practices may not be suitable for every person in the same form. Your experience can be affected by age, mobility, pregnancy, injury, surgery, medication, diagnosed conditions and other individual circumstances.
Do not force a posture, breathing practice or meditation technique. Stop practising if you experience sharp pain, dizziness, numbness, unusual shortness of breath, faintness or another symptom that concerns you.
When Professional Guidance Is Important
Consult an appropriate healthcare professional before starting or modifying a practice when you are pregnant, recovering from an injury or operation, managing a diagnosed medical condition, or uncertain whether an exercise is suitable for you.
A qualified yoga teacher may help adapt a practice, but a yoga teacher does not replace a doctor, physiotherapist, mental-health professional or other licensed healthcare provider.
No Guaranteed Results
SarvYoga does not guarantee that a yoga posture, breathing exercise, meditation method, diet suggestion or lifestyle practice will produce a particular result. Individual responses and circumstances vary.
