Recomendations

Yoga should be done on empty stomach. Therefore eat at least 2-3 hrs before your practice

Healthy males or females can perform asanas.

Children under the age of 12 years should be guided by an Instructor

Yoga poses that are inverted (example: headstands) should not be done during MS (Menstruation)

Normal breathing should be maintained while performing yoga postures.

Do not force your body to do any poses (asanas). Be patient and move into your poses with care and precision. There’s a difference between training smart and training stupid!

Look to increase the duration of your poses as you get better. This is the only way to keep improving. A comfort zone is a nice place to get to but don’t stay long.
