Summary
In this episode, which we first published earlier this year, Jason and I tackle yoga injuries. There may not be a way to completely prevent all injuries, but we’re sharing some best practices that teachers and students can practice to minimize the risk.
We cover a lot of ground, but here are a few top-level points:
* Why there’s no one “right” way to approach any pose in order to prevent injury.
* The four key things you should consider in regards to injury prevention
* The types of hands-on adjustments that Jason advocates against
* How to find equilibrium and balance in yoga poses

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 245 of Yoga Land. |
| 0:09.3 | I hope you are all doing well out there as we barrel toward the holiday season here in the US. |
| 0:17.8 | And as we barrel toward the end of 2021, I'm finding my mind is a little bit blown that we are already here. |
| 0:23.9 | I just feel like this year has flown by. |
| 0:27.4 | And I'm super grateful for it and very grateful for the holidays because I love the holiday season. |
| 0:32.8 | But I don't know, I'm finding myself wanting to spend more time journaling lately and more time |
| 0:39.1 | in my quiet internal practices, breathing and contemplative practice, just to kind of get a grip |
| 0:46.4 | on the present. It just goes so quickly. Anyway, this week I am re-running one of our most |
| 0:52.4 | popular episodes from last year for ways to prevent yoga injuries. It was a conversation that I |
| 0:58.2 | had with Jason and it really is sort of the top line best practices that he uses in approaching |
| 1:06.1 | Austin practice and just creating a healthy practice. So enjoy the episode and we now have |
| 1:12.9 | his injuries online program is on sale today. So if you would like to learn more about the |
| 1:19.2 | current online program that he's running, we've changed it a bit so that it is now available |
| 1:27.2 | for a year instead of six months. Most of our programs are going to remain available for six months |
| 1:32.8 | because we just agree that it motivates people a bit more to get things done the longer you sort of |
| 1:39.4 | keep things open. The longer we humans tend to drag it out and we want you to get through these |
| 1:44.3 | programs and really get the information. But for injuries we felt like we had a discussion about it |
| 1:50.8 | and we felt like this content can take longer to process and implement in your teaching and in your |
| 1:56.8 | practice and it's also super useful content to be able to go back and refer to. So that is one |
| 2:03.6 | reason that we are offering a year long access to this content if you sign up for the course. |
| 2:10.0 | And the other thing is that instead of doing all of the calls over one three day weekend, |
| 2:15.2 | along weekend, Jason is going to spread the calls out so they're once a month and the first call |
