Yoga Done Wrong Can Have Adverse Effect on Your Health!
Yoga poses are good for health and there is no debating this fact. But if done wrong they can lead to dangerous consequences and can affect your health in an adverse manner. Of course these side effects of yoga can be avoided but you got to know them first to avoid them. Here are some of them:
Yoga Stretches Lead to Muscle Strains and Ruptures
If your body is not flexible, some yoga poses can adversely harm your muscles and cause heavy pain and internal bleeding. Some yoga poses can even lead to fracture or ruptures of delicate bones. This case is especially true if you have delicate or brittle bones. Ruptures like these can take months to heal and might sometimes even need surgical intervention.

"Heat increases one's metabolic rate, and by warming you up, it allows you to stretch more," said Dr. Robert Gotlin, director of orthopedic and sports rehabilitation at the Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan. "But once you stretch a muscle beyond 20 or 25 percent of its resting length, you begin to damage a muscle."
Yoga can give rise to Gastric Problems
Some yoga poses can even lead to adverse gastric problems in some individuals. Most people complain gastric symptoms to be associated with hatha yoga postures. This is especially true if you do not perform all yoga asanas in a particular sequence. Some pranayama techniques can also cause this kind of impact.
You could get the Kundalini Syndrome
Some of the yoga poses are so complex that even experts don't understand them properly. For instance the kundalini yoga. Yoga poses like these done wrong can have adverse effect on you mentally. This is known as the kundalini syndrome. The possible side effects on kundalini syndrome are pseudo death, psychosis, pseudo psychosis, confusion, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, sadness, suicidal thoughts, urges to self-mutilate, homicidal urges, arrhythmia (irregular heart beat), exacerbation of prior or current mental illness, insomnia, inability to hold a job, inability to talk, inability to drive, sexual pains, Yoga for hypertension, temporary blindness, and headaches.
Even if you practice yoga under a instructor, chances are that he or she is not fully aware of the techniques and might give you wrong instructions. So you need to be super careful if you even consider attempting these advanced yoga forms. |
