"Potential negative effects of yoga include: injury from improper alignment or overexertion, exacerbating existing health conditions, emotional releases, and spiritual or cultural misappropriation if not practiced respectfully." Thank you🕉🙏

Yoga has many benefits, but if done incorrectly or excessively, it can have some negative effects:

  1. Injuries – Poor form, overstretching, or forcing poses can lead to muscle strains, joint pain, or even serious injuries like ligament tears.
  2. Hypermobility Issues – Excessive flexibility without strength can weaken joints and lead to instability.
  3. Overuse Strain – Practicing too frequently without rest can cause fatigue, muscle soreness, or repetitive strain injuries.
  4. Dizziness or Low Blood Pressure – Rapid position changes (like standing up from a deep forward bend) can cause dizziness, especially in those with low blood pressure.
  5. Emotional Discomfort – Deep breathing and meditation can sometimes bring up suppressed emotions, which may feel overwhelming for some people.
  6. Not Enough Strength Training – Relying only on yoga without adding resistance training may lead to muscle imbalances or weakness over time.

To avoid these issues, practice yoga mindfully, listen to your body, and balance it with strength training and proper recovery.

Hi. I am 23 years old female. It's been a year since I started performing this new asana routine but I still feel quite tired after performing it. I start with warm up exercises of the joints for 10 minutes(like rotating my feet,wrists,shoulders and neck. Also some butterfly.) This is followed by Tadasana 1minute, Trikonasana on both sides 1 minute, suryanamaskar 2 times( where I hold each pose for 10 seconds), ushtrasana 1 minute, janushirshasana with both legs 1 minute, pashchimotasan 1 minute, upvistha konasana, halasana 2 minutes, sarvangasana twice for 2 minutes and finally shavasana for 5 minutes. Is this too much?
dear anchal only do rotation and surya namaskar for 10 times and than do shavasa for 10 to 15 acc to your body carving for rest and you can do yog nidra also it takes 20 minutes it will surely help you .
