Students and staff alike are doing yoga on campus. If you’re not already getting your yoga on at home or in a gym, there’s a good chance you’ve attended something on campus.
My yoga experiences generally result in pain and falling down, and then pain from falling down. To help maximize yoga results and hopefully limit all of that falling, I’m going to recommend checking out a book like today’s selection, Anatomy of Yoga: An Insider’s Guide to Improving Your Poses by Abigail Ellsworth. By getting a look at what these poses are requiring from your body and what should actually be getting stretched, instructors or participants can see what they’re doing wrong or what could be done better.
Trust me and my sports injuries: it’s worth using a reference like this.
