Doctors said that among those who go to yoga classes, there may be students who practice to varying levels. If they barely make difficult movements in order to catch up with higher-level students, they will be easily injured.

In addition, yoga is not suitable for everyone. People with high blood pressure, spinal problems, etc. should consult their doctor before learning yoga; while "high temperature yoga"(practicing yoga at 35 to 38 degrees Celsius) is more likely to cause the heartbeat to accelerate and the body loses a lot of water, which is not suitable for heart patients, hypertension patients, pregnant women and children. When signing up for a yoga class, you should also check the reputation of the fitness center and tutor and learn the correct postures correctly.

Considerations for practicing yoga

Certain yoga exercises may cause damage to some bodies. If you have the following diseases, you should be cautious: disc injury to the cervical or lumbar spine, carotid arteriosclerosis, severe high or low blood pressure, retinal relaxation or glaucoma, severe osteoporosis, stroke.

High temperature yoga is not suitable for people with high blood pressure or heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy, kidney disease, severe liver disease, pregnant women, children or the elderly.

Do what you can and don't force yourself to do difficult exercises.

Do enough warm-up exercise, do not do sudden pulling exercise, and pay attention to keep breathing smoothly.

If you feel unwell or feel dizzy during practice, you should slowly stop and inform your instructor, or see a doctor.
