Contra-indications of Padahastasana:

This asana should not be practised by people suffering from serious back complaints, sciatica, heart disease, high blood pressureor abdominal hernia. It is also not advised for pregant women especially during the second or third trimester.

Preparations for your practice:

It is always recommended to include a 10-minute warm-up prior to your asana practice. Why? Because it helps your body to actually prepare, remove stiffness, increase flexibility and smoothen your joints. Did you know that many modern yoga styles ignore the warm-up and therefore risk serious unjuries? No matter if you are a beginner or advanced practitioner, make sure to add your warm-up. In traditional hatha yoga this is called Pawanmuktasana and includes simple rotations and movements of the toes, ankles, knees, hips, shoulder, elbows, wrists and neck.

Diving into the next level of yoga:

To be sure that you practice an asana correctly, we recommend participating in a Yoga Teacher Training Program. This is an intensive educational program in which you can learn yoga from A to Z. It takes you from understanding each postures alignment and benefit to the anatomy, philosophy, meditation and pranayama aspects. Yoga is very broad and includes many sub branches such as Ayurveda, healthy diet, nutrition, lifestyle choices and cleansing techniques. All those are part of the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga India Foundation in India.
