Pregnancy

Deep twists, abdominal compression, and lying flat on the back can restrict blood flow or cause discomfort as pregnancy progresses.

Widen the stance significantly to make space for the abdomen; keep transitions slow and use a wall or chair for balance.

Hernia

Strong abdominal compression and breath-holding under strain increase intra-abdominal pressure and can worsen a hernia.

Avoid any posture that causes pressure or bulging in the abdomen; work with a qualified teacher and your healthcare provider.

Heart Conditions

Vigorous effort and inverted positions increase cardiac demand and blood pressure; extra caution is essential with heart disease.

Keep effort moderate, breathe continuously and smoothly, and consult your cardiologist before practising.

High Blood Pressure

Vigorous effort and inverted positions temporarily raise blood pressure in the head, increasing strain on blood vessels.

Keep arms below shoulder height, breathe steadily, and avoid vigorous transitions.
