Before you practice

Listen to your body and set your own pace

Every practice is a chance to notice how your body feels today. Modify poses, rest in child's pose, or skip a movement entirely whenever something doesn't feel right. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, and never force a stretch beyond a comfortable range.

If you have an injury, a pre-existing health condition, are pregnant, or are recovering from surgery, consult your healthcare provider before joining a class or following a guided practice. Let your instructor know about any limitations before the session begins so they can suggest suitable modifications.
