When should a beginner avoid performing strenuous yoga?
Yoga practice should be avoided during the time of illness like cough and cold, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, fever or any systematic upset. Moreover, after any kind of surgical operations yoga should be resumed only after consulting a doctor. When a practitioner is not feeling comfortable or easy on a particular day, asasnas should not be practiced, except Savasana which can be done for relaxation.
