Yoga encompasses a wide variety of practices, from physical postures to meditation.
Every man should be able to find a yoga practice suitable to his needs. However, the
physical postures of yoga can place specific demands on a man’s body. The following are
some common, but by no means exhaustive, cautions to consider for anyone when approaching
a practice of yoga. Anyone with a history of high blood pressure or any other cardiovascular disorders; glaucoma or other eye problems; recent surgeries or injuries; particular
neck, back, or vertebral disk problems; or any joint problems, particularly in the
areas of the knees and shoulders, should consult with a physician as some yoga practices
may be inadvisable. In addition, for any female readers of this book, special precautions
may be appropriate for pregnant or menstruating women. And any individual—man or
woman—who has any particular concern should consult with his or her physician before
embarking on a practice of yoga.
