Pregnant women should also avoid this pose, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, as it can be challenging and potentially harmful for the baby.Additionally, those with high blood pressure, heart problems, or vertigo should avoid this pose as it involves a lot of bending and twisting, which can increase blood pressure and cause dizziness.It is always important to listen to your body and consult with a qualified instructor before attempting any new yoga pose.
