It is not yoga that injures, but the way one does yoga that leads to injury.

The Yogi conquers the body by the practice of asanas, making the body a fit vehicle for the spirit. The Yogi knows that it is a necessary vehicle for the spirit, for a soul without a body is like a bird deprived of its power to fly.

Regular practise of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability
