sun_salutationI came across this guy's article the other day. How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body. Also, he is selling a book.
It is certainly a valid point that one should practice with care and non-violence toward self.
Not sure what else I think about this, though. Discuss?

News-articles generally tend to do a fair bit of fearmongering for things that are supposed to be good/healthy. I think they take it to such an extreme that it seems silly.
It's like saying everyone should be wary of sleep because some people suffer from sleep apnea. Or have died in their sleep. Or any other ailment that happens from sleeping.
Yes, if you have an underlying condition, you need to be careful. You need to take care of yourself, but that doesn't exclude you from partaking in things that can have an overall good effect on you.
It's not about taking it from one extreme to the other.
