Common Yoga Injuries: Anatomy, Prevention and Help

TEACHER ED

As yoga gains in popularity, there is now documentation that thousands of people are seeking health care for injuries related to yoga. In this audio yoga download, Judith Hanson Lasater, a teacher of yoga therapeutics, starts at the neck and works down the body exploring this issue and answers questions posed by participants. Judith gives specific recommendations on how to move (and not move) during our practice to avoid injury. She explores:

  • What can we as teachers and students learn about preventing injuries?
  • What are we doing to our neck, wrists, shoulders, hips, and knees that might contribute to injuries?
  • What we can do to prevent these injuries
  • Why some poses are not necessarily good for all people
  • The importance of moderation during our yoga practice since most injuries are from overuse

This audio download addresses these and other questions.

The practice of yoga is fundamentally an act of kindness toward oneself. This idea is often forgotten, but not by Judith, whose approach is warm, non-judgmental and responsive to individual differences and needs.

You are doing a great service! I live in Mexico and your on-line events have been a terrific way for me to stay in touch with yoga colleagues and continue learning from teachers of the highest caliber.

I wanted to expand on my thank you. Yoga U Online has been an absolute lifesaver for me. I moved from a yoga mecca to a yoga desert. Instead of having my choice of teachers and styles and special workshops, I now have to travel an hour to take a class. The excellent teachers and interesting topics at Yoga U Online have kept me moving ahead in my practice. I am grateful for all the wonderful yoga you bring to me. Thank you.
