I am a 200 hour hatha yoga certified instructor, as well a trainer and instructor certified by NASM, ACE, AAFA, Cancer Excercise Specialist, Pre-natal fitness, and more.
I have noticed that students will push themselves to look like some ideal, and yoga injuries have become way too popular. Many instructors cue their students with absolutes: “make your foot 90 degrees", "make both hips face the side wall", put your head through your arms and look at your belly button” and if you tell someone to do that, they will...even at the risk of joint misalignment and injury. My system of yoga is challenging, but I promote paying attention to the joints natural range of motion, and maintaining neutral spine.
BODYFRIENDLYOGA is based on the idea of "plank" or "neutral spine": the three natural curves of the back equals "straight". If you have 30 degrees of turnout in your feet, that is what you will use. If you need a high block to to forward bend or trikonasana, so be it! No more pushing or forcing joints. The idea is to use your muscles and FREE your BONES!!!
