#159 Adam Keen - Yoga Injuries, How to Avoid, Manage and Heal From Them

Adam Keen - Injuries in Yoga, Managing and Healing From
Them (@adam_keen_ashtanga | www.keenonyoga.com )


Adam discusses the topic of injuries in yoga and the upcoming
injuries conference. He emphasizes that injuries are not the
fault of the yoga practice itself, but rather the approach and
individual factors. Adam encourages practitioners to adapt the
practice to their own bodies and focus on the feeling in the body
rather than accomplishing postures. He also shares his personal
experiences with injuries and highlights the importance of rest,
seeking different approaches, and strengthening the body. The
episode concludes with an invitation to the injuries
conference. 


Key Points

often the result of individual factors and the approach to the
practice, rather than the practice itself.

to suit one's own body and focusing on the feeling in the body
can help prevent injuries.

·       Injuries can be seen as
opportunities for growth and learning, and seeking different
approaches and opinions can be beneficial.

area, strengthening the body, and considering alternative
therapies can aid in the healing process.

·       The injuries conference
provides a platform for discussing and addressing yoga-related
injuries and healing.
