Health & safety

This site describes hatha yoga poses and breathing practices. It is general information, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

If you have a chronic condition or an injury, are recovering from surgery, or are pregnant, check with your doctor before you practice.

• Move without pain: a gentle stretch is fine, sharp or growing pain means stop.
• Breathe freely and don't hold your breath unless the technique asks for it.
• If you feel dizzy, numb or have chest pain, stop and seek medical help.
• Build up to inversions and intense breathing techniques gradually.

Every pose, pranayama and shatkarma lists its cautions. The lists come from the app and follow hatha yoga methodology, but they don't replace a personal assessment by a professional.

The pose photos are AI-generated and show the overall shape of the pose. Follow how your body feels and the written technique.
