Summary

In the modern era of practicing yoga, we've come to terms with the reality that alignment alone is not the sole consideration when it comes to preventing yoga injuries. Today's episode draws from Jason's recent webinar, The Yoga Injury Matrix, and focuses on eight best practices for minimizing yoga injuries. The talk dives into the following ideas:

Mindful, skillful alignment
Pace, duration, and intensity are key
Intensification adjustments and their role in modern yoga
Well-rounded sequencing matters
Helping your students prioritize self-regulation
The role of stabilization techniques
Emphasizing functional strength and active ROM
The body is a stress-distributing device
