Yoga is harmful for our body

20.01.12

A new study reveals that yoga can damage the body. People who practice yoga as well as tutors might be injuring themselves 'in droves' by over-ambitious and under-taught yoga moves.

Yoga veteran Glenn Black seriously hurt his back after years of practice. Many people should give up yoga altogether, because it is too likely to cause them serious damage. Most doctors stated that they were increasingly seeing patients who had been injured from practicing yoga. Nowadays, there is a lot of crowded yoga classes and unqualified yoga teachers.

Anatomy experts also warn about the risks of inverted poses, which can strain cervical vertebrae or restrict blood flow into the head, either acutely or progressively.

Paula Tulsi, the owner of Manhattan practice Reflections Yoga, said:

"People of my circle are going crazy, because lots of people who were going to try yoga - the people you can bring in and heal - are going to be afraid now and they will think yoga is dangerous. It is so tragic and controversy. The problem is not in yoga, but in bad translation or teaching of yoga."

According to the Centers for Disease Control Injury Center, more than 10,000 people receive treatment in the nation's emergency departments (ED) each day for injuries sustained in sports, recreation and exercise. At least 1 of every 5 ED visits for an injury results from participation in sports or recreation. Therefore you should practice yoga with caution.

    Stop driving cars, because you can get into an accident !!! Get the point - Learn Yoga from a Yogi, otherwise do not practice it, simple.

    YOGA IS NOT AN EXERCISE AT ALL .
    YOGA IS or MEANS COMMUNICATION WITH ALLAH or COMMUNICATION WITH THE LORD ALMIGHTY GOD THROUGH DEEP,DEDICATED PRAYERS or MEDITATION or HEALING PRAYERS. I HAVE MET SAINTS and SAGES OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD whom PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW or THEY ARE NOT POPULAR. THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN SECLUSION and ONLY A SERVENT OF GOD MAY or CAN TRACE THEM BY GOD's GRACE. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY-BEAUTY-POLITICS-LONGIVITY-PLEASURES. THEY ALL LIVE IN THE COMPANY OF DIVINE LIGHT. WHAT THEY EAT , WHERE THEY TRAVEL, HOW THEY TRAVEL, WE DO NOT KNOW. ALL OF THEM KNOW ONLY ONE LANGUAGE. THAT IS, THERE IS LIGHT-SILENCE ON and IN THEIR FACES. THEY ARE THIN PEOPLE WITHOUT A PERMANENT SHELTER. HAPPY SOULS.
