You may have read some recent news stories about injuries resulting from yoga. It is possible for yoga to be a safe and beneficial practice -- if you follow some basic guidelines:
~ Find a qualified instructor teaching small enough classes to provide you with personal attention. Poses should be taught step by step with options offered for varying levels of difficulty. www.YogaAlliance.org is one national database of yoga teachers who have met particular standards of training and qualifications.
~ If you're new to yoga, start slowly and learn the basics. Take a beginner class and move through the poses cautiously for the first couple of weeks. If you feel that your instructor is pushing you too far or isn't focused on your safety, find a new class.
