Not all exercises are suitable for everyone. Within the program, not all routines and postures are suitable for everyone.
Warnings
To reduce the risk of injury, never force or strain. If you feel pain or burning in any part of your body, you've gone too far - in which case back off. You'll get where you're going sooner if you work within your limit.
Doctor's Advice Before you begin, I want you to be sure that your Doctor says it's OK for you to be doing yoga. Not all exercises are suitable for everyone and this or any exercise program may result in injury. So consult with your doctor before taking on on this or any other exercise program
Be sure your Doctor says it's safe for you to be doing the exercises you choose here. If your Doctor recommends you leave some exercises out, then do breathing exercises or meditationuring that part of the program.
The exercise, instructions and advice in this program are in no way meant as a substitute for medical counseling and is by no means meant to replace or override the instructions of your doctor.
Pregnant Women
If you are pregnant: You should not be holding your breath during any of the exercises. You should not do any inverted yoga postures. Which means, if you are pregnant, or suspect you are pregnant, you should not do any postures that raise your bum and legs over your head. (I won't be introducing them during Car Yoga!) After the fourth month of pregnancy, do not lie flat on your back. Use rolled up wash cloths under your hip to tip you slightly to one side. Pregnant women should avoid arching their backs. If a posture requires arching, modify it so that you do not arch your back, or simply avoid the posture completely and do breathing exercises or meditation during that part of the program. Your connective tissues are more elastic when you're pregnant. You might be able to reach extreme postures that your body isn't ready for. When you're pregnant, DON'T PUSH for the EXTREME. In fact, ease off - go short of your limits - and enjoy the other benefits of yoga. Yoga can provide a cardiovascular work out, even though it seems sedentary. As with all exercises, when you are pregnant keep your cardiovascular peak rate 25% - 30% lower than when non- pregnant.
If you are pregnant STOP IF YOU EXPERIENCE: cramping, spotting, pelvic pain, other pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, faintness, irregular heart beat, back pain (especially pain in the small of the back that feels like menstrual cramps).
