All those who have the desire to practice yoga techniques have to consider certain factors before proceeding. If those factors are ignored, the results may be harmful for the practitioner. For example if a person has been suffering from some bodily disorder , it will not be prudent to undertake yogic exercises. that might produce harmful effect..
Therefore, the foremost consideration is that the person must be having normal health. At the same time he has to be aware of the time of conducting exercises, the place, dress during the exercises, duration of practice, diet the intake of water, etc.
Physical condition: As has already been mentioned above, yoga technique should not be undertaken if the body condition is not normal. Yogic exercises have heir effect n delicate organs of the body like heart, brain, lungs etc. they might get harmed if the physic is carrying some disease. Therefore, this factor should be borne in mind before practicing yoga. NO doubt yogic exercises are very beneficial but one should be advised to consult an expert before undertaking them. Here again on should be cautious that the teacher has a scientific attitude and has not undertaken the job to mint money only.
Place: the place where yogic exercises are carried out should be an open place where no one disturbs the proceedings. The surrounding should not be noisy. If carried out indoors, the place should be well ventilated and free from noise. Exercises like breathing and concentration are practiced individually. Any conversation, mental activity, listening to music, etc. should be done away with to avoid distraction of mind and to conserve energy. Yoga should be practiced on floor. In the Gita the Lord recommends that a grass carpet is spread on the ground; it should be covered with a dear hide over which a clean linen cloth is spread. The seat should be comfortable for sitting for long durations while meditating.
