Are your mind, body and spirit out of tune? You might think about pulling out the yoga mat. Yoga is practiced by millions worldwide to reduce stress, increase flexibility and improve overall health, but some experts warn that all of those complex stretches and maneuvers could be doing serious damage to your body. Is yoga the secret to a healthy life, or could you just be kicking yourself?
Without a good teacher, yoga can be very dangerous to the body. A good yoga teacher provides instruction on alignment, attitude, and tradition while also providing ample inspiration to keep the students' active minds engaged. it's not easy to find a really good yoga teacher with whom one can connect. So it's very important to ask around and find a teacher that comes highly recommended. So many injuries (which of course would lead one to say yoga is bad for the body) come from people who have practiced yoga without proper instruction.
