What I liked least about the original NY Times article was the assertion that the author’s style of yoga teaching was beneficial and “good” and all other “yoga” was nefarious, scary, possibly dangerous. A little cloying, a little self serving, and very manipulative.

I started running soon after Jim Fixx Book of Running was published. The running fad hit hard, similar to the recent interest in yoga. After a few years people started to discover running wasn’t all good. Dear Me! People get injured running! It’s hard on the knees, shins and hips. In fact, in my case I took up yoga after a traumatic hip injury made simple walking difficult. . . .that doesn’t mean the everyone should give up running – or yoga. Any exercise is better than NO exercise and any exercise has the potential to injure – ’nuff said?

Rachel,
This is so beautifully articulated and clear. Especially for anyone who knows you and has conversed with you. Your voice is strong throughout.
However… the body does not house the soul. Let’s discuss the next time we meet. : )
Much love and safe asana.
xx Sima

Sadly, Yoga is already “wrecked.” Divorced from the factual Hindu roots, this “yoga” is another example of exploitation and discrimination against Hindus/Hinduism: the religion of Yoga.

I personally injured my back trying to bend it into places it wasn’t ready to go in yoga and put myself out of all sports and activities for about 6 months. However, I did physio, got it corrected and now know what not to do in Yoga. So what Rachel’s said is correct, you have to balance your practice, test your limits and approach them with baby steps to nudge them further and further back. Yoga is a lifetime practice.
