All sports carry a certain amount of risk and yogi must expect to experience hard physical effort but must use judgement in practice. Students must exercise sufficient knowledge, awareness and skills to avoid injury and should be gentle with themselves in all exercise. Any pre-existing medical or physical condition must be reported to the teacher.
Yoga is suitable for all abilities and ages from the wonky-bear to the grizzly bear personalities.
