Which yoga moves are prone to injury?

We all know that yoga movements can help keep fit, make fat people lose weight, and exercise our body flexibility, but what you don’t know is that some movements are often harmful. Let's take a look at which movements are prone to injury.

Special tips from coaches:

1. When practicing yoga, you should wear loose clothes and wear as few items as possible. Items that may cause harm, such as watches, must be removed.

2. Do not exceed your physical limits. Learn to listen to your body's cues and relax immediately when you feel unusually uncomfortable.

3. Start practicing from the most basic movements, and don't rush to imitate difficult movements. Such movements are best completed under the guidance of a coach.

4. Warm up before practicing, preheat your muscles, relax your joints, and rest after practice.

5. Yoga practice should follow the principle of "corresponding relaxation", that is, after doing a left movement, you must do a similar right movement to relax, that is, "left must have right, front must have back". When completing a whole set of movements, there should also be relaxation between each movement, the time is about 5-10 seconds.

Pigeon pose

The side waist and hips are prone to injury during the exercise, so it should be completed step by step according to the physical condition. If you feel severe pain in the waist when turning, you should relax immediately to avoid injury.

Side support

During the exercise, the wrist and elbow joints are under great pressure and are prone to injury. People with tendonitis should not do this exercise.

Shoulderstand

Relatively speaking, this is a move that is more harmful to the body in case of danger, because the main load-bearing parts are the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, so practitioners with cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation should not do this move. Beginners should not imitate this move, especially without the protection of a coach.

Triangle Stretch

When practicing, as long as you keep all parts of your body in a straight line and do not lean forward, there will generally be no danger. Most practitioners suffer injuries due to bumps and collisions when they fall to the ground.

Pigeon pose

This movement can relieve lumbar muscle strain and is very helpful for the lumbar spine. When practicing, you should avoid using excessive force to prevent injuries to the lumbar and cervical vertebrae. It is generally recommended that beginners use the cobra pose to complete this movement, that is, keep your legs flat and do not lift them, which can reduce the pressure on the lumbar spine.
