Can Yoga Wreck Your Body?

There’s been a lot of talk in the blogosphere about a certain New York Times article, How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body, adapted from a book: “The Science of Yoga: The Risks and Rewards,” by William J. Broad—due out next month.

Though Broad admits that much of the benefits of yoga are true: “Yoga can lower your blood pressure, make chemicals that act as antidepressants, even improve your sex life,” he states that “A growing body of medical evidence supports...that, for many people, a number of commonly taught yoga poses are inherently risky.” Broad cites reports of yoga injuries appearing “decades ago” in some of the “world’s most respected journals.”

Though Broad does emphasize that most injuries are due to ego—either on the part of the student or the teacher—he goes on to provide examples of injuries as though they prove that yoga itself is dangerous, rather than the way certain people practice it.

And his examples? They were ones that most experienced yoga teachers would have some instant preventative solutions for.

EXAMPLE “In one case, a male college student, after more than a year of doing yoga, decided to intensify his practice. He would sit upright on his heels in a kneeling position known as vajrasana for hours a day, chanting for world peace. Soon he was experiencing difficulty walking, running and climbing stairs.”

SOLUTION Don’t sit for hours a day in Vajrasana if it’s causing pain.

EXAMPLE “In 1972 a prominent Oxford neurophysiologist, W. Ritchie Russell, published an article in The British Medical Journal... Russell found that brain injuries arose not only from direct trauma to the head but also from quick movements or excessive extensions of the neck, such as occur in whiplash — or certain yoga poses.”

SOLUTION Note the words “quick” and “excessive”. If it feels too “quick”—practitioners can slow it down. If it feels “excessive” we can back off.

EXAMPLE “The patient had been in excellent health, practicing yoga every morning for a year and a half. His routine included spinal twists in which he rotated his head far to the left and far to the right. Then he would do a shoulder stand with his neck “maximally flexed against the bare floor,” just as Iyengar had instructed, remaining in the inversion for about five minutes. A series of bruises ran down the man’s lower neck, which, the team wrote in The Archives of Neurology, “resulted from repeated contact with the hard floor surface on which he did yoga exercises.”

SOLUTION Notice the bruises. These are a sign to pay attention to. Even the medical team assessing Nagler’s patient agrees, citing in their report: “Healthy individuals could seriously damage their vertebral arteries, they warned, ‘by neck movements that exceed physiological tolerance.’” So don’t exceed physiological tolerance.

EXAMPLE “Around this time, stories of yoga-induced injuries began to appear in the media. The Times reported that health professionals found that the penetrating heat of Bikram yoga, for example, could raise the risk of overstretching, muscle damage and torn cartilage.”

SOLUTION Avoid extreme heat, and don’t overstretch.

Broad concludes with a quote from long-time yoga teacher Glenn Black. “‘Asana is not a panacea or a cure-all. In fact, if you do it with ego or obsession, you’ll end up causing problems.’”

Agreed. Looking for tips on how to safely do yoga at home or in a studio? Take some pointers from our latest blog post: 10 Tips for How to do Yoga at Home.

Tuesday Yoga Giveaway: Thera Roll

Question:  What other body-loving practices do you do on a regular basis?

The crew who designed the Thera Roll tell us that there are only a few muscles that we can really stretch: the neck, low back, hamstrings, calves, rectus femoris muscle (10-15% of the quadriceps group mass), abdominals, iliopsoas, and pectoralis major muscles.

The fun and funky massage and stretch tool offers moderate to aggressive release of sore and fatigued muscles. Designed for competitive athletes, the tool works for yogis too. Just ask Kreg Weiss, My Yoga Online co-founder; he had a chance to try out the Thera Roll and is a full-on fan. The roll comes in three densities: soft (blue), firm (purple) and hard (grey).

Made in the USA, the Thera Roll is comprised of the highest quality, cross-link durable foam. Plus it’s easy to clean and sterilize.

10 Tips for Doing Yoga at Home
  1. Make enough room for a mat. You don’t need a lot of space to do yoga at home. Just enough room for your yoga mat, and a foot or two around all sides. Once you get your practice going, you’ll feel as much calm stepping onto your mat as you would stepping into a studio. State dependent memory—our tendency to adopt the same physiological state we remember being in at other times we did the activity—works in our favour here. We become calm and energized during our yoga practice and soon enough, after a number of sessions on the mat, we begin to feel calm and energized as soon as we step on it.
  2. Give yourself permission. Friends, family, work—everything and anything can become a reason to feel guilty about taking the time to do yoga at home. The bottom line is this: we can’t take care of others unless we take care of ourselves.
  3. Listen to your body. Your body knows what’s good for you and what’s not. Before you begin your practice, take a few minutes to sit or stand in stillness. Scan your body from your toes, up your legs to your knees and into your hips and lower back. Then scan up to your upper back, shoulders, arms, stomach and chest. Notice any sensations anywhere, ranging from simple sensations of energy to stronger ones of discomfort or pain. Stay tuned into those areas as you do your practice. If you feel increased pain or new pain be sure to back off and choose a different variation of the movement. Rest if you need it.
  4. Feel energized? On days when you feel energized, it can be great to do power vinyasa or kundalini yoga at home. These are more dynamic, flowing, energetic styles of yoga.
  5. Feel like you want to build energy? Kundalini yoga and power vinyasa flow are also great for building energy. If you’re looking for something less strenuous, try a Hatha practice.
  6. Feel like you need rest? Meditation, or yin yoga, are both very nourishing.
  7. Feel free to rest. Feel like you don’t have enough energy to do anything at all? Simply practicing savasana, where you lie flat on your back in corpse pose and simply let go, can be enough of a yoga at home practice some days.
  8. Feel free to meditate. On other days, you might just want to sit in meditation. Yoga asanas, or physical postures, are actually geared towards enabling us to sit comfortably in meditation. So sit still and rest in the rhythm of your breath—no guilt required!
  9. Give yourself permission to make it short and sweet. So a regular class is 75 minutes? What feels right for you? Your yoga at home practice can be as short or as long as you need it to be. Honour what’s right for you. Feeling like you need an asana practice, but can’t convince yourself to get going? Just remember that getting started is the hardest part. Try committing to doing “just seven minutes” but give yourself time for more in case you feel like it.
  10. Just do it. Bottom line: When you do yoga at home, even five minutes can bring in the stress-relieving, muscle toning and lengthening

Tuesday Yoga Giveaway: Tonic

Question: What's Your Resolution?

We’ve heard everything from the office and the street for a morning run to the meditation cushion or beneath the bed-covers.

That’s why we’re such big fans of Canadian-designed and –manufactured Tonic Lifestyle Apparel. They get that we want clothes that we can wear for yoga, and beyond. Tonic began in March 2004 as a lifestyle line of clothing for today's modern women. Particularly inspired by the healthy and active west coast lifestyle, the line works for women who want pieces that are both highly functional and stylish.

Going beyond their initial idea to meet the needs of yoga practitioners, Tonic’s line of active wear works for any physical discipline. For proof, simply look to the company’s ‘Active Spirits’—the many fitness and yoga pros across North America who love the line including: Anne Green, track and field Olympian, Misha West, professional figure skater, and My Yoga Online teacher and YYoga studio director Christine Price Clark.

The Yinside of New Year's Resolutions

Not everyone makes a resolution each January, but chances are you have at least once in your life made a New Year's Resolution. Think back over past resolutions and shine a light on them. What were they all about? If you are like most people, your resolutions were to change something about yourself: either there was something that you were doing that you wanted to no longer do, or there was something that you were not doing that you vowed to start doing. 

"I resolve to give up smoking, eat less, exercise more, spend more time with family, read more, finish that project, … (fill in the blank)." 


These are "yang" resolution relating to activities: resolving to do something or refraining from doing something, or in other words to change yourself or your life in some way. These can be wonderful intentions and there are times, not necessarily only on January 1st, when we do need to tap into our yang energies and change the course of our lives, but to be balanced, we also need to look at the yin aspects of such intentions. 

When we examine our resolutions we find that they are based on the unspoken assumption that the way we are right now is not good enough. There is a "should" lurking in our self-evaluation: we should be better, or different than we are right now. Where is that assumption coming from? Why are you not content with the way you are right now, with the way your life is right now? Whose voice is whispering in your ear that you should be different? 

Balance requires consciously honouring both the yin and yang energies of life. Yang is about change, movement, passion, climbing great heights, and accomplishing great deeds. Yin is about acceptance, allowing, stillness, enjoying the present moment and doing small everyday tasks as if they were great deeds. 

We are constantly urged in our society and in our culture to change, to improve, to seek what we don't have and fix the problems we do have. Step back for a moment and really look at every ad you see, notice the way media portrays the "ideal" life, hear what advice your friends and family offer to you. It is easy to fall into the belief that however we are right now is inadequate in so many ways. And, since we are so flawed, why not vow to improve? All we need to do is buy certain products, dress in a different ways, change jobs, relationships, locale, etc. 

Over the past many years, we may have done all of this and more and yet, somehow, we still feel inadequate is so many ways. This yang approach to fixing life is not yielding the promised results. It is easy to blame ourselves for this failure, and that blame just feeds into the next cycle of change: we need to try harder or do more. It is not a surprise that so many New Year's resolutions lie broken in the gutter before the Xmas tree is taken away. We have tried in the past and still our culture deems us not yet good enough. 

Let's look at the yinside of all of this. What is there about yourself that you can simply accept and not try to change? After all these years of trying to change, select something that you will simply allow to just be. 

A New Year's Postcard from Chatauqua Press in 1909This is not easy! It is counter-cultural and counterintuitive. Some examples could be: 

           "I resolve to accept my body just as it is right now!"
           "I resolve to allow my anger/fear/depression to manifest without judgement."
           "I resolve to stay with my current partner/job/apartment/car/cat..."
           "I resolve to let ... (fill in the blank) ... just be"

Perhaps in years past you resolved to give up something, to lose weight, or stop eating desserts or you gave up chocolate (gasp!) The shadow side of that yang decision may have been losing joy and comfort as you deliberately restricted the amount of pleasure you allowed yourself. As a consequence you were unhappy and this unhappiness spread to the loved ones in your life. 

This is not to say that these yang resolutions were unwise, but rather to point out that every decision and action has a consequence to it. The key question to ask yourself is, "Am I better having made these resolutions in the past?" It is up to you to define "better" - healthier, happier, more content, more balanced… If you do not believe you are better off, then it is time to revisit the intention behind your resolutions. 

This year, why not resolve to accept something about yourself that you will no longer try to change or improve! You may even decide that this is the year that you accept something about someone else and vow to no longer try to change him or her! Sure, go ahead and consciously make a yang resolution to do or not do something, but why not add a yin resolution this New Year's? What are you going to accept, allow and no longer try to change this year? 

Let 2012 be your year of yin.

Exploring Astheya: Giving Without a Big Price Tag

At holiday time, we all enjoy giving the most we can to those we love. Yet in these challenging financial times, we may not have the resources to give much – materially. We can take comfort in the Yoga Sutra on Astheya (generosity) which tells us:

“Abiding in generosity and honesty (Astheya), material and spiritual prosperity is bestowed.”

Sutra 2.37 as translated by NJ Devi in The Secret Power of Yoga

The interesting thing about this Sutra is that it links generosity and honesty, speaking to the fact that we should give within our means, and from what is authentic in our hearts. And it promises that in return, we can expect to receive both material and spiritual prosperity, indicating the intertwined nature of giving and receiving.

Rather than go into debt to give more than we are capable of, we can generously share in other ways – our patience, service, skills, attention, energy and love.  These are gifts that hold more lasting value than anything purchased at the mall anyway.

“Generosity gives great gifts in many small ways,” writes Devi. Consider for a moment how you might ‘give greatly in a small way.’ 

One interesting practice that engages our generosity of spirit is a “give-away.” Different from the commonly practiced “re-gifting” of something we didn’t want to someone else, a give-away asks us to offer something that we love to another, because they will benefit and be blessed by it as much as we are. 

Another practice to consider is from an additional interpretation of Astheya, which is “non-stealing.” By reflecting on ways in which we might normally take from others - their time, their ideas, their energy – we can make adjustments and practice offering rather than obtaining. This requires that we recognize our natural abundance from our Source. When we recognize the infinity that exists in the Universe, we feel no lack or greed, or need to take from others. By opening our hearts we magnify prosperity for ourselves and those around us. As we cultivate a mentality of abundance, we also accept the nature of change and the impermanence of all things material. By embracing the ebb and flow of life, we enjoy freedom in the simplicity of letting all come and letting all go without expectation and attachment.

More than anything else, we can give generously of our love. Everyone needs that. Included in gifts of our love are actions and attitudes like compassion, understanding, thoughtfulness and helpfulness. By approaching gift giving in this way, we can offer our care in many simple yet profound ways – cooking someone a meal, watching their kids for a night, asking how they are and listening intently, praying for them.

The beauty of Astheya is that it asks us to link our honesty with our generosity and  by doing so, experience the benefits of a prosperous heart.
