SESSION #3: Yoga & Injuries
A very dense subject: thousands of videos explaining the dangers of such and such a break, or the other side of the same coin, how yoga can cure "sciatica", hip pain, this or that.
We'll need a few sessions and will start with a historical overview, then a review of the stadandard position in YogaLand and finally a dive into 2 and a half studies, to prepare for the following sessions.
Preparation
Video in English, by a professor emeritus (50'):
Anatomy of Injuries: Learn Yoga Anatomy
An honest framing of the question of yoga and injuries,
how to position yourself, what to do...
This will serve as a basis for defining your porsition and mine, not to say posture.
1. Excerpts from "The Science of Yoga", The Risks and Rewards, by William J Broad, a book I recommend for its clarity and simple style, for once.
Chapter: Injury: in pdf
20 small, easily digestible pages
2. Extract from Science of Flexibilty: X-Rated postures: en pdf
17 pages, full of drawings of "forbidden" postures
A light and graphic study

Extensive studies:

Adverse effects of yoga: a national cross-sectional survey
Another interesting study .
