Consultation with Professionals

Before beginning any physical activity programme, including yoga practice, you should consult with appropriate professionals to determine whether it is suitable for you.

This is particularly important if you:

• Have any questions about your suitability for yoga practice

Professional consultation helps you make informed decisions about your participation in physical activities.

• Assessing your own capability to participate in yoga practice
• Deciding which movements and postures are appropriate for you
• Choosing when to rest or modify activities during class
• Listening to your body and respecting your own limits
• Seeking professional advice when needed

Our instructors provide guidance and demonstrations, but only you can determine what is suitable for your body.

MelFlow Yoga Studio makes no guarantees, promises, or assurances about outcomes from yoga practice. We do not claim that yoga will:

• Produce specific results or changes
• Address particular concerns or issues

• Make your own decisions about which variations to use
• Ask questions if you're unsure about a movement
