Question on Yoga 

Yoga for beginners or for novices, who are attempting advanced yoga asanas or postures for the first time, must always have an instructor to keep a tab on the type of postures being done. Moreover certain forms of yoga such as the Kundalini Yoga involve the activation of serious energies in the body and can lead to pains if not done in the right manner. Yoga must always be introduced slowly and gradually till the individual is comfortable in going ahead with advanced postures. Most importantly Yoga is a form of relaxation so any type of yoga that causes discomfort must be discontinued at once to prevent further complications. Also it would be advisable if you could check for underlying conditions that need to be ascertained by your physician. Let your doctor know that you are doing yoga if you are experiencing chest pains as it can indicate serious problems.

It is also possible that regurgitations of stomach acid during certain asanas give off the same kind of discomfort that is similar to chest pains. It is probably likely that it could be an incident of stomach acids coming to the surface. Whatever may be the reason, chest pains need to be inspected by a medical physician, please consult your doctor for further tests to actually determine the cause of chest pains during yoga.
