Yoga originally had a healing effect, how could it cause harm to the body? Just like walking on the road, accidents can happen if you’re not careful. Why don’t you just walk?.
If someone can’t stand and is in a hurry to walk, they will fall and hurt their legs, and the same goes for yoga..
Lack of alignment or incorrect understanding of alignment, lack of experience, drawing gourds and ladles without proper practice guidance, exerting the power of the times Wait.
It’s like sitting in a lotus position with legs crossed. They said, “I think I can do it!” Unfortunately, what they think is their mind, but what they do is their knees! If you don’t understand the wisdom of the knee and force it to listen to the head, then the knee will be injured..
But if you understand the stiffness and flexibility of the knees, gradually removing stiffness and increasing flexibility, then there is no danger at all..
But how can we use the experience of injury to stabilize our practice instead of limiting it?.
Yoga teaches us that if we don’t take good care of ourselves, our bodies will become uncomfortable. However, we can also learn to make this uncomfortable and help us practice with more mindfulness..
Most people may have some physical problems to some extent, some of which are health issues, such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, scoliosis, some of which are shoulder stiffness and hip stiffness, and some may have been injured in some part of the body before, leaving behind old illnesses..

When some postures cannot be achieved, one may feel discouraged, or various emotions may arise during the practice of postures. Sometimes being eager for success can easily lead to injury..
Sometimes I feel that my body is restricted and I dare not try some postures. Or, in a headstand, scared away by fear..
Practice postures without emotions, let alone being carried away by the emotions generated during the practice process. Be aware of your emotions and do not react to them, just observe them..
Perhaps it’s cervical spondylosis, maybe it’s just a stiff body, or a knee injury, and that’s not a problem. During the practice process, one should accept the limitations of their own body and not be limited by them..
For example, a classmate asked, “I have scoliosis, can I practice flow yoga/Astonga?”? Or maybe I injured my knee, should I stop practicing?.
It’s all something that can be practiced, just to make simple variations of postures, what should be bravely tried is still to try..
Don’t think that practicing today is not as good as yesterday, it’s meaningless. Your body is different every day, just feel your current body and practice now..
Don’t feel like you’re not as good as others when practicing. Your body is your own, and if you’re injured, it’s still yourself. There’s no comparison in yoga. The phrase “without comparison, there is no harm” is particularly suitable when used in yoga..
If you encounter any problems during the practice process, communicate with the teacher in a timely manner. If the teacher pays enough attention to you, they can guide you to adjust and continue on the right path..
