大家问我瑜伽和拉筋区分何在？我曾半开玩笑说：瑜伽造病，拉筋治病！没想到这次真有了教授佐证：“瑜伽怎样毁坏你的身体？”一文节选自科学家作者William Broad写的《瑜伽科学：风险和回报》，刚刚发表在1月5日的纽约时报，一位参与过美国拍打拉筋体验营的学员传来了文章链接。最初见很多练瑜伽的人受伤我也不解，以后见多了才发觉这很象西方的体育运动，只是东方法的内观法门被变质为西方法的外在塑身，于是大量痛症、寒证病由此而生。比如患痛经的瑜伽教练就不少。 奥运会的口号是：更高、更加快、更强！我在其后加上一句：死得更加快！作为内观修行的瑜伽和自愈疗病的拍打拉筋，其关键全部在心法而非外在技术！因此我不是说瑜伽不好，关键是要专心法练瑜伽，而非仅仅追求肢体美感。拍打拉筋一样要专心法练，因为自愈力是内在的，拍打拉筋产生的痛本身就是一味由心产生的大药，越痛升阳越快，阳升则阴降，阴降则病祛！ 此文是英文，我没时间翻译，哪位好心人可翻译之发给我贴上博客，让更多人受益，提前感谢！顺祝新年愉快！ How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body Published: January 5, 2021 But modifications are not always the solution.

McCall stopped doing the pose, and his symptoms went away. Later, he noted that the inversion could produce other injuries, including degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine and retinal tears . “Unfortunately,” McCall concluded, “the negative effects of headstand can be insidious.” · ·City Room: When Yoga Hurts Almost a year after I first met Glenn Black at his master class in Manhat
