This pose should not be practiced if one is suffering from injured ligaments at the ankles or at the knees. Hernia or Ulcers: Those suffering from hernia or intestinal ulcers should take medical advice and guidance before practicing this and should perform this pose with a trained yoga teacher.
When should we avoid Vajrasana?
Yoga practitioners suggest avoiding Vajrasana if you have:
- a knee problem or have recently undergone knee surgery.
- a spinal cord condition, especially with the lower vertebrae.
- intestinal ulcers, a hernia, or any other intestinal problems such as an ulcer or hernia.
Why is Vajrasana difficult?
Even if Vajrasana is considered as an easy pose, there are times when the stiffness of the ankles or the knees will make the yoga pose uncomfortable. Hence it is required to open the muscles well in order to go into the pose without any difficulty.
