Yoga, Safe for All?

This study identifies various medically documented yoga injuries, with the spine being the most common cited location of injury. Spinal flexion and extension seem to be particularly high-ri sk positions. Although soft tissue injuries were more common, bony injuries, including osteoporotic compression fractures, were also noted, and these types of injuries pose an increased risk of morbidity.
