Yoga Is Not a Substitute for Medical Treatment

medical complaint or concern, or are unsure whether or not you should be practicing yoga
because of a particular physical condition, consult your primary healthcare provider before
embarking on a program of physical yoga exercise. If you experience any pain or discomfort
during a yoga practice session, discontinue your practice and seek appropriate medical
attention.
