The number of people practicing yoga in the world is increasing by 50% every year, and more than 80% gyms in China offer yoga programs. Recently, a set of CCTV's "Life Early Reference" program broadcasted a "Yoga Debate", which showed many cases of serious injury or even death after practicing yoga.
The reporter investigated the orthopedics and sports injury departments of major hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Lanzhou, and found that the number of people injured in yoga practice is increasing year by year. "Yoga disease" seems to have become a new disease. In this regard, some orthopedic experts in Guangzhou said that people with cervical and lumbar diseases, the elderly, children and other people should not practice yoga, while others must practice yoga according to their abilities, step by step, and do not persist if they feel pain.
Extended data:
Iyengar, an Indian who is known as "the greatest yoga instructor in the world", believes that yoga is suitable for everyone and has a significant effect on treating diseases, but practicing yoga must endure pain. Video broadcast by CCTV shows that Iyengar obviously limps when walking, and many of his grandfather's Sun San generation and disciples have strange shapes, which may be caused by spinal and pelvic injuries after practicing yoga.
Blake, an American yoga instructor, witnessed someone giving three "horns" and even breaking three ribs while practicing "Spine Twist" in class with Iyengar. Although Blackburn was very careful when practicing yoga, he later had to undergo major spinal surgery because of spinal stenosis.
People's Network-Old people, children and patients with cervical spondylosis will die suddenly if they practice yoga improperly.
