Our terms of use and liability information

Practice safely

Use of the practice videos (where applicable in your course)

One of the most important skills yoga can teach us is greater body awareness. No yoga teacher knows your body as well as you do, so for courses involving practice videos, if anything doesn't feel right, you are free to take breaks and/or skip poses or sequences that are not suitable for you. 

We do not offer medical advice. If you have any doubts please consult your medical practitioner before doing the yoga videos or if you are coming back to it after illness or injury. This is particularly important for, but not limited to, the following conditions: if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, have low or high blood pressure, or have any existing medical condition or injuries. If you feel dizzy, light-headed, faint, or if you experience any other discomfort, stop immediately and take a resting pose. Consult a medical professional if your symptoms do not pass.

Most practice videos on this website will include warming up and cooling down sections, however, please take responsibility for your own body and include extra warm up and cool down stretches where appropriate to avoid injuries.

It's best to practice on an empty stomach so leave around two hours after a heavy meal before practice. Keep yourself hydrated before and after your yoga practice. Don't use alcohol or drugs before yoga or meditation.
