Melissa Williams, RYT, Co-Owner Yoga Junction
 Runners get hurt. Bicyclists and golfers, too. And of course, football players, but yoga practitioners and yoginis?
From the article written last month in the New York Times, it appears that yogis are getting injured on the mat quite frequently.
While yoga injuries are relatively infrequent and generally minor, injuries occur in nearly any athletic or non-athletic endeavor. Trip while walking anyone?! Who hasn't?.

Yoga is meant to help reduce stress and provide relief in the midst of our busy lives, but having an injury can occur and limit you from experiencing the joy that yoga brings to your life.

We are going to help you with the process and precautions, follow us...
