Preventing Yoga Injuries... One of the best ways to prevent injuries is to really listen to your body's signals. We are a society of "no pain - no gain". This is not the case with a yoga practice. Pain is a RED LIGHT meaning STOP! Discomfort is a yellow light, meaning go slow or back off. We want to learn to RELEASE into a deep stretch, not force our way there. Understanding our physical anatomy can help you to visualize what is happening when you feel certain sensations. The articles here give you visuals and sensation clues which I hope will keep you safe, happy and healthy.
