Practise in a way your body thanks you for.
Yogaly is built to keep sessions safe, but you’re always the final guru in the room. A few principles to keep in mind.
Tell Yogaly what to work around
Set your limitations during onboarding and update them whenever something changes, from Profile → Health & limitations. The more honest you are, the better the guru can leave out poses that wouldn’t suit you and offer gentler options instead.
Warm up, then ease in
Every Yogaly session opens with breath and gentle movement before anything demanding. Resist the urge to skip it - a few minutes of warm‑up is where most strains are avoided.
Read your body, not your goal
- Sharp, pinching, or joint pain is a stop sign - come out of the pose.
- Mild muscular effort is fine; pain is not the point.
- Breath should stay steady. If you can’t breathe smoothly, ease off.
- Rest whenever you need to. Pausing is part of the practice, not a failure.
Use modifications freely
Each pose includes easier variations and prop suggestions. Choosing the gentler version isn’t “doing less” - it’s doing the version that’s right for you today.
When to check with a professional
Yogaly isn’t a medical service and can’t diagnose anything. Talk to a doctor or qualified physiotherapist before starting if you’re pregnant, recovering from surgery or injury, or managing a condition such as high blood pressure or glaucoma - and stop and seek advice if a movement causes pain that lingers.
