* Don't practice them while you are in pain!

When you are in pain please go to your Doctor, and he will tell you when you can start practicing again. Most of the times when you are in the stage of pain, you are not supposed to do anything, because even the slightest movement might cause you harm. So go to your doctor first, follow his directions, and when the doctor allows you, you can practice Yoga to get better.
