Details & Specifications

Have you ever heard comments like these from yoga practitioners? "Downward dog hurts my wrists." "I meditate in lotus pose, but my knees ache afterward." "My shoulders get sore in child's pose." The most common response from yoga teachers is often, "Keep working on your flexibility. One day, you'll be open enough to get the pose." However, this advice may not be the best solution. Either the student will eventually become flexible enough to achieve the pose, or they may develop osteoarthritis instead.

Sadly, these are the students who are fortunate enough to experience pain in the damaged joints. Others may not realize how much they're harming themselves until years later. As both a medical doctor and a yoga teacher, I find this situation truly tragic.

Yoga can be an incredible tool for maintaining health and longevity. Numerous research studies continue to demonstrate the many benefits of yoga. Avoiding yoga due to injury concerns is not the answer. The solution lies in empowering oneself with knowledge.

It's unfortunate that most yoga teachers, let alone yoga students, are not thoroughly trained in anatomy. Students often assume that their teachers have expertise in this area, but that is frequently not the case. Most yoga teacher training programs focus on passing down the "classic" forms of the poses, without delving deeply into the functional aspects of the body.

As a medical doctor, I have a comprehensive understanding of the human body. And as a yoga teacher, I possess a deep knowledge of the practice. I frequently lead workshops and trainings on these topics, driven by a passion for helping people practice yoga safely.

This book was born from the "aha!" moments of my students. When they finally understand why a pose hurts every time they do it, and discover how damaging it can be to continue practicing it in a painful way, they are often shocked that they had never learned this information before.

What are you doing in your yoga practice that may be damaging your joints? Do you even know that you're hurting yourself? The time it takes to read this book will pay off in every single yoga class you take or teach for the rest of your life.

The incredible benefits of yoga can be yours, without the risk of long-term injury. This book will teach you how to achieve this.
