Yoga instructors undergo early spinal degeneration due to a lack of knowledge about biomechanics and repetitive wrong movements. I will explain u with an example
Imagine someone performing “SURYA NAMASKAR,” which involves forward bending a lot of times and a very complicated manoeuvre too. If one of the students isn’t performing it properly, then it’s the instructor’s duty to teach it correctly. Already, this ASAN is disturbing the normal lordosis of the spine; hence, early degenerative changes are obvious.
Additionally, if you ask any of the instructors about a particular spinal condition. They don’t know anything, but they still keep using the same set of positions for everyone, and that’s unethical, too. But as they say little knowledge is more dangerous they end up injuring their spine first and very early. So the yoga therapists must train under a physiotherapist to understand basic biomechanics to save themselves and also innocent people.
