Safe Practice

Stay within your limits, which should expand with practice.

Your practice is in your hands.

The movements we pass at QOLnow are low impact meant to increase your fluid flow, lower body strength, balance, and general attitude. They are practiced by people of all ages and physical ability.

However, as we are not there while you practice, you are in charge of your body. Be aware of your limits, especially the first lessons when you are beginning your practice. The movements are meant to develop you, but slowly over time.

Specifics

• You should not feel any pain when doing the movements. If you to back off the intensity with which you are practicing. Do
• Blood pressure
  • High pressure or after a stroke, do not bend over deeply as this would raise the blood pressure.
  • Low blood pressure. Also do not reach for our ankles stop at your waist.
  • Do NOT allow our head to go lower than your sternum. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU to PASS OUT when you raise your head back up.
• Balance concerns
  • Hold onto a wall or furniture when practicing balance movements.
• Back or disc problems
  • Be careful on movements which require you to twist or to bend your spine.
• Getting low/Bending knees
  • Your knees should bend in the direction your toes are pointing to avoid to stress on the sides of the knees.

Overall, adjust movements to your current abilities.
