Precautions Before Practising Gomukhasana

  • If you are experiencing severe shoulder pain, calf injuries, neck problems or backache, refrain from doing the Gomukhasana. If the pain is mild, do consult a doctor before doing this asana.
  • In the case of tight shoulders which hinder you from clasping your fingers behind your back use a strap between your hands. Drape the strap over your shoulder of the lower arm and then catch the other end of the free strap with your upper arm. Keep trying this till you are comfortably able to do this asana with no additional prop.
  • It is best if this asana is performed first thing in the morning. Make sure you have your meals at least 10 to 12 hours before your practice which will give numerous health benefits.
  • Most importantly avoid straining the body beyond the limits as it may cause some serious injury.
