Teaching yoga for over a decade has shown me that injury prevention is one of the most overlooked but essential parts of our practice. Yoga injuries don’t usually happen in a dramatic fall or twist, they build up quietly over time when we’re not paying attention. That’s why in this episode, I’m sharing 10 straightforward, practical tips to help you avoid injuries and keep your yoga sustainable for years to come. These insights come from my experience teaching thousands of students and running a yoga studio for over ten years.Episode Highlights:Moving regularly and not relying on yoga alone for all your movement needsPrioritizing yoga fundamentals over chasing advanced posesAvoiding repetitive movement patterns and fast-paced sequencesLimiting hands-on adjustments and always asking for consentMatching class structure and pacing to students’ needsUsing props intentionally to support and educateEncouraging strength-building, especially for hypermobile practitionersBeing mindful of how hormonal changes (like perimenopause) affect the bodyUnderstanding why hot yoga may not be suitable for everyoneExploring different styles of yoga to balance your practice over timeWaitlist for the Online 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (launching January)Sequence Smarter – The Living Body of AsanaFor teachers living in India, reach out to Janessa at [email protected] for special local pricingJoin our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram
