Summer Series 2018: Q&A – How to Avoid Common Yoga Injuries

This is where the subhead goes where we talk about how you need to do your research and two other things

In this week’s episode, Jason and I are live from Detroit Yoga Lab answering student questions about some of the most common yoga injuries, how to prevent and avoid them. Bonus banter: Find out why Jason has a black eye – unsurprisingly, it’s not from yoga or a bar fight. And learn what Jason’s three favorite bands are.

(Our regular listeners will not be surprised to hear that Salabhasana (Locust Pose) come up a time or two.)

Here’s what we discuss:

Alternative poses for Warrior I and II for practitioners with SI joint pain
Best poses and modifications for hamstring overstretch issues
Which movements during an asana practice could cause excess shoulder and neck tension and which counter poses or practices can students do to find relief
Have we demonized Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose)? Plus, how to transition from Plank to the floor in a way that’s less likely to cause injury
