Smart Yoga: 10 Injury Prevention Tips Everyone Should Know
Teaching yoga for over a decade has shown me that injury prevention is one of the most overlooked but essential parts of our practice. Yoga injuries don’t usually happen in a dramatic fall or twist, they build up quietly over time when we’re not paying attention. That’s why in this episode, I’m sharing 10 straightforward, practical tips to help you avoid injuries and keep your yoga sustainable for years to come. These insights come from my experience teaching thousands of students and running a yoga studio for over ten years.
Episode Highlights:
- Moving regularly and not relying on yoga alone for all your movement needs
- Prioritizing yoga fundamentals over chasing advanced poses
- Avoiding repetitive movement patterns and fast-paced sequences
- Limiting hands-on adjustments and always asking for consent
- Matching class structure and pacing to students’ needs
- Using props intentionally to support and educate
- Encouraging strength-building, especially for hypermobile practitioners
- Being mindful of how hormonal changes (like perimenopause) affect the body
- Understanding why hot yoga may not be suitable for everyone
- Exploring different styles of yoga to balance your practice over time
