Yes, it is possible, but it's best to practice under the guidance of a professional instructor. If attending group classes at a gym, meditation yoga, stress-relief yoga, and yin yoga are more suitable choices. During practice, avoid standing poses with forward or backward bends, as well as all inverted and semi-inverted postures, as these may increase intraocular pressure.
