Quiz: Yoga & Injuries

Why talk about Yoga and injuries?
Talking about yoga and injuries is not a popular topic. We have all experienced the many benefits of yoga in our bodies and minds. Therefore, what we like to believe is that the healing power of this wonderful practice is universal. It is also very easy to find an almost unlimited number of "scientific" studies that seem to prove this assumption: yoga seems to be a low-cost and effective cure for almost any physical or mental problem.
How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body
This view has been questioned strongly since the 2012 article in the New York Times, written by Pulitzer Price winner (the Oscar for journalists) William J. Broad: "How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body". This article has raised a heated debate about yoga in the United States. Research is starting to be done about the possible risks of yoga. Popular poses and alignment cues and certain techniques are being questioned.  2012 is not a long time ago. These new insights are only slowly beginning to change the way yoga is being instructed. Especially yoga teachers who have completed their training before 2012 continue to teach "the old way" - using what they have been taught by their teachers prior to 2012. Therefore, "the old way" is still predominant in most classes - in yoga studio, online classes on YogaGlo, you name it.
The future
What will happen in the future: the standards for education and training of yoga teachers will change significantly. YogaAlliance has already launched a project to review and update their standards.
