About this listen
Injury prevention in yoga is often oversimplified into absolutes. It's either "yoga heals everything" or "if you get hurt, you did it wrong." But the truth is far more nuanced. While we can and must take steps to minimize risks, true injury prevention has inherent limitations because movement is never fully predictable.
Students come to class with unique bodies, histories, and habits that influence their practice in ways no teacher can entirely foresee.
In this episode, we'll cover:
- The controllable factors (how you can reduce risk)
- The uncontrollable variables (why injuries still happen), and
- A realistic approach to balancing safety and autonomy in yoga
