What is "Yoga Butt" and How to Avoid it When Practicing

Accessing a deep stretch in the hamstrings can be one of the most satisfying feelings, but it can also lead to injury if we’re not careful. In this video, we talk about the dreaded "yoga butt,” a common injury that many yoga practitioners experience. We share the situations in which this injury occurs most often, what’s happening in the body to cause it, and some poses where this injury risk is higher. You’ll learn simple and effective tips to correct your alignment, understanding what to look out for especially in the spine and hips, so you can practice safely and avoid this painful injury.
