Your body will ache at the start and that ache may continue for few days before your body gets used to yoga. But if the aches and pains are caused by a particular yoga posture and not going away, discontinue that pose and meet your health care professional if needed. Do not injure yourself. People can get injured during yoga practice. Do what suits your body and is comfortable to you. Do not copy or practice the advanced poses of yoga if it does not suit you.
