Summary
It was once common practice for yoga teachers to start every class with a simple question: "Is anyone working with any injuries or medical conditions?" On this episode, Jason talks about the reasons that this question does -- and does not -- hold up. The goal isn't to tell teachers what to do, but to share the pros and cons so that you can make the decision for yourself.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 211 of Yoga Land. |
| 0:08.9 | That is really hard to say 211 to it's like at the end of the daily show well where |
| 0:15.0 | Michael Barbero says here's what you need denoted yeah you think that's hard |
| 0:20.3 | for him to say there was a whole episode about it. I had no idea. Yeah, I told you. Well, anyway, I told you about it, but yes, they did like a little behind the scenes of how hard that is for him to say and how often listeners complain that they can't understand what he's saying and that they brought it |
| 0:35.8 | an elocution coach to help him and the elocution coach is coaching him and every time he's just like |
| 0:40.7 | here's what should you do today. |

| 1:22.8 | We did though. But anyway, back in the day, it was just accepted. |
| 1:27.0 | It was the standard thing to do. |
| 1:28.0 | A hundred percent. In fact, I was going to ask you, because you taught yoga for a brief stint in your life and I was going to ask you if you used to ask people if |
| 1:38.0 | if anyone. I did. Have anyone have any injuries? I did I did. People are like I got Patele or femoral syndrome I got |
