Hypotension (low blood pressure) is not a contraindication to yoga, although individuals with orthostatic hypotension may need to take special precautions when standing up after reclining. However, individuals (both male and female) with high blood pressure, women who are menstruating, individuals with glaucoma and people with sciatica should refrain from breath-holding and certain poses and postures. Many yoga instructors specialize in prenatal yoga, so it can often be safe for pregnant women to participate.
