How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body

 

[Daniel E.]

The author's upcoming book, The Science of Yoga: The Risks and the Rewards, is also on the positive aspects of yoga. A review of the book:

“If this book doesn’t motivate you to practice yoga, nothing will. Broad sheds light on yoga’s health benefits and hoaxes, covering everything from headstands to hypertension, the vagus nerve to the YogaButt. Finally I understand why I feel so good when I do yoga. His lively exploration of its evolution from Benares to Beverly Hills flows like any great practice should -- with intelligence, good humor and some mindblowing insights.”
