Disease description:
Can people with retinal detachment practice yoga? Are there any precautions to take, and what types of yoga are suitable?
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.
