Fortunately I learned Yoga with private lessons in a method that was super gentle. After a few poses or at anytime, I would go in to corpse pose in order for the body to allow the effects to take place.
This approach has helped me through my life, and now is a life saver in old age. My teacher changed over the years to accommodate the mpre extreme yoga styles, but I kept going the original way.
When I was about 50 years old, I was still in excellent shape and I decided to push yoga to the next level..... well for the first time, I injured my back. It took a long time to heal, and taught me a good lesson.....
Interestingly I never got into head or shoulder stands, and now the article is pointing out that head stands are dangerous..... Gentle is the way with Yoga and it is nothing to fool around with....
