The contraindications index provides an invaluable resource for teachers: an alpha list of conditions with contraindicated poses clearly provided for each. When you ask students for any conditions, you can then quickly consult this resource to get a sense for movements that are best to avoid. (If you then wish to learn more about the condition, you can study that condition in a separate lesson.)

In addition, there is a brief lesson on the subject of contraindications which explains how they are different from cautions. Using the condition of sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, we give an example of a contraindicated pose and a pose that is advised to be practiced with caution. We explore some complexities regarding contraindications and considerations for choosing alternatives.
