When it comes to advanced yoga poses, no matter what any instructor (or anyone else says), your body is yours and it knows when something doesn’t work for it. Its communication is simple and immediate: if it hurts, stop! There is an old adage that says, “No pain, no gain.” That’s total rubbish and recent studies prove this to be so in most situations. However, there are some kinds of “pain” that are good, ie the slight pain you get when you get a good yoga stretch, just be careful with the advanced poses and don’t be tempted to “push through the pain”.
