International Day of Yoga: The 6 Don'ts of Yoga

Before you start practising Yoga every day, here are six major don'ts you should always keep in mind.

Don't overexert right from the beginning. Start with easier poses and gradually shift to challenging ones.

Weather plays a key role too. Avoid doing Yoga during extreme conditions, when it's too hot or too cold.

Never perform Yoga after having meals. Wait for at least 2-3 hours.

Avoid doing Yoga wearing tight clothes. Tight upper back clothing can restrict the movement of the rib cage.

It is advised to take a shower after Yoga but not immediately. Let your body cool down first.

Do not do the 'feet up' (inverse) poses while menstruating. You can always perform simple breathing and relaxation poses though.
