Kia Meaux: “It is important not to push your body beyond its limits when practising dynamic Yoga. If you find that a particular posture creates strain or tension in a part of your body, withdraw from it. A pose done with force can be very injurious, and usually results in undue pressure being applied to another area of the body to compensate... If you have a specific injury or known weakness, then you must be very careful not to place any strain on that area of the body when practising Yoga...” Yoga in the ‘real’ world: “The world of Yoga as presented by the media, newspapers, magazines and regional televised advertisements for mobile phones etc is one of svelte young people, lithe of limb who are obviously double jointed and can only afford designer leotards. In the real world, in my classes at least, the Yoga students I encounter are all age groups, all sizes, both sexes, and with motley garb. They come along to classes in order to help flex tight limbs, remind themselves how to breathe and luxuriously enjoy the ‘quiet time’ and deep relaxation at the end...”
