   just like any form of exercise, u need guidance.If u try it, on your own and are not upto the mark of expert, u can’t blame the system in a biased way.Seek out some guidance, and rea the benefits ot your fine tuned efforts.

   first of all start out a little slower….. try the whole sun salutation routine and more beginners poses and try the modified versions for awhile…… a good motto for yoga is if you can’t breathe in the position you shouldn’t be in it…. it kind of takes time to be able 2 do poses like a shoulder stand…. I’ve been in yoga since January and can’t do those yet…. look up some poses at http://www.yogajournal.com its one of the sites that was recommended by my yoga instructor

   There is a fine line between discomfort and pain, and often in this culture we confuse the two. The point of yoga is to find the edge of this discomfort, and sit with it, allowing it to Be. Pain is a message from your body that tells you what you are doing is bad or dangerous; a lot of times in yoga we will feel opening feelings in the muscles, and a lot of times people will consider these feelings of opening ‘pain.’ If you try to meditate on your definition of pain, that will help you. Try to view the feelings of change in yoga differently, and don’t forget to RELAX into the pose as fighting it will only heighten the feelings of discomfort. And shoulder stands aren’t something you kick up into and fall out of; rather they are supposed to be entered and exited calmly with strong intention. The whole asana should be deliberate from start to finish.
