What are potentially harmful yoga poses?

Yoga poses are not dangerous. A complete strategy for preserving health and well-being is yoga. When it comes to practicing yoga asanas, incorrect understanding or a lack of knowledge at all is damaging.

Any practice, let alone yoga, can become harmful due to ignorance of the truth or a mind clouded by beliefs. A serious spinal anomaly or spinal damage can make an advanced back bend lethal if attempted by the affected person. Nevertheless, a regular practitioner with a healthy spine can perform the same advanced back bend safely for a lengthy period of time.

Similar to this, it might cause unnecessary strain on the abdomen if a pregnant woman tries to do an yoga asanas that requires lying down. However, if she engages in yoga poses that increase hip flexibility and pelvic muscles will be more beneficial.

*So let’s hit those 5 yoga poses that could be dangerous if practiced and/or taught incorrectly.

• Camel Pose
• Upward Bow or Bridge Pose
• Pigeon Pose
