is actually just a form of exercise with no attention to the individual needs of the student. This results in an increasing number of yoga-related injuries and overuse pain conditions. The first prin- ciple of yoga is non-harm. Yoga students shouldn’t have pain or stiffness after class. If so, they have been doing some sort of “stretching,” but it isn’t yoga if the result is pain or discomfort. The Dynamic Systems Rehabilitation Clinic specializes in
Putting Sanity Back Into Yoga D
oing yoga shouldn’t hurt. Much of what is taught as yoga in the West
helping people modify their practices to avoid harm and the pain that follows. Matthew J. Taylor, PT, PhD is the national expert on yoga injuries and their prevention. Following a detailed history and evaluation of the students’ movement abilities, they are taught how to adapt postures and which ones to avoid for their safety. Once students understand their limitations and the modified forms, they can continue to prac- tice in a class setting or at home with safety and confidence, experiencing the healing effects of true yoga without pain.
