Namaste. Welcome to this important section of guidelines.

Please read through the following points carefully before you start your YogYam Yoga practice with me.

Check with your Doctor:

• It is highly advised you take your doctor's advice before starting any practice.
• Do only as much as you can. Should you feel any discomfort at any point , stop the practice immediately.  In the event of any discomfort, please contact your physician or if you wish to discuss your situation further,  please email me at: yoga@yogyam.com
  

Stretching:

• Do not over-stretch. Stay comfortably within your limits. The body will open up slowly with time by doing regular practice.
• Don't get stuck at your physical limitations. Just stretching 2-3% more than your existing stretching level will open up your body.
• It is advised each practice be done gently without giving any jerks to the body movements. Move gracefully and gently as you transit from one pose to another.
• Do not judge yourself. Just enjoy each move with a calm and happy state of mind. 
  

Breathing:

• Breathe gently trough your nose only, unless asked in any particular practice to breathe differently. 
• Breathing should be calm and gentle, without placing any stress on breathing. If you are hearing your breath, it means you are stressing your breath. Just feel the breath getting longer without any additional pressure. 

Alignments: 

• You will be guided for the alignments in your practice class itself. As a general rule, keep the direction of the toes aligned with the direction of your knees.
• Try to keep your feet within the width of your hips, unless asked otherwise.
• When the pressure of your body is on your hands in some poses, make sure that your fingers are facing straight without twisting your wrists.

In case of back pain:

• If you have any kind of back pain, avoid too much forward-bending. In severe cases, discontinue the practice until the back is healed.

In case of knee pain:

• If you have any kind of knee pain, avoid too much pressure on your knees. In severe cases, discontinue the practice until the knee is healed. Or keep a cushion under your knees or fold your mat in double and place your knees to avoid excessive strain.

Pregnancy:

• These classes are not advised for pregnant women.
