Yoga fan? Heres an interesting project on demystifying whats actually happening in your Asanas. I think this is a great opportunity to inject some evidence into the industry, an opportunity for discovery and clarification, and most likely an opportunity that inspires more questions. Over the past fifty years, modern postural yoga (MPY) has improved the lives of countless people worldwide. It has awakened millions to the inti- macy of embodiment and deep breathing, and the realization that mindful movement can both heal and evolve the spirit. But people are also injuring themselves—and getting injured by their teachers—in asana studios around the world. Hard data on rates of injury is non-existent. Anecdotally, it would appear that people are being injured at a higher rate than either yoga marketing or its spiritual pedigree would suggest. These injuries occur for many interweaving reasons. Obvious factors include prior conditioning, poor education in biomechanics, overbearing instruction, sacrificial attitudes towards pain, and group pressures to fulfill presumably shared spiritual ideals.
