Pushing their bodies to repeat the same yoga positions is leading to a rise in hip problems among teachers, a leading physio warns.
"People confuse stiffness and pain," he says."If there is a pinching or blocking feeling in the groin, it shouldn't be ignored. You have to know your limits."He says it can be easy for yoga practitioners to mistake joint pain, which means they should stop the movement, for stiffness, which they should push through.
Mr Matthews says the problem often boils down to how a person's hips are formed and how flexible they are. "Just because the person next to you can reach all the way doesn't mean it's necessary, or desirable, to do the same."Mr Matthews says the amount of yoga teachers do, as well as the fact they might not be doing any other kind of exercise, can explain the problems that develop.
"I don't think you're told very much when you're training as a teacher about physiology or anatomy," she says."There is an overuse issue.Natalie, now 45, tore the cartilage in her hip five years ago. She adds though, people teaching yoga do need to take care and advises anyone wanting to train to make sure their courses are Ofqual-approved.
