Yoga Day: Harm if there is no guidance

Private hospitals in the city have seen young people coming in with problems of back and knee pain due to wrong postures.

Hyderabad: Ahead of the International Yoga Day Celebrations, doctors and yoga instructors are emphasising an often overlooked element of yoga – unsupervised, it can cause serious injuries and strain.

With people opting to learn from videos, CDs and Do It Yourself apps, caution is advised. Private hospitals in the city have seen young people coming in with problems of back and knee pain due to wrong postures. Hence Yoga instructors advise people to practise only under the guidance of trained people.

“Yoga postures are complex. People need guidance and help to perform it. With people now being aware of the benefits of yoga, the number of practitioners has increased. But watching DVDs or videos will not do.,” said C.N. Kanth, a yoga instructor.
