Hello. I would suggest to all beginners to work with their teachers and instructors. They will tell you what is good for you as a beginner. There are yoga stretches that can really be uncomfortable for beginners. You will learn to distinguish sensations that you will benefit from and those that warn you about possible injury. In general, sharp pains in muscles, joints and tendons should send you a signal to stop with a certain movement. Yoga exercise needs a good preparation and warming up. I also suggest to all people to check with their doctors before they start with practicing yoga. Your health condition matters. I hope everything will be all right and you will enjoy yoga. Good luck!
