Journal Blog #2: Yoga

We have been reading about how yoga can wreck your body. By now, you should be noticing that this essay is quite carefully narrowed. It is a long essay, but the topic is very narrow and precise.

What makes the essay long is its development. We get example after example after example in very clear detail. And when the writer uses academic or biological language that we may not know, he makes sure to explain it to us: where the nerves are, how the arteries flow, why the vertebra flex in the way they do. While this is academic language, it is always supported with ideas that we can see, feel, and hear (pop, pop, pop), making this essay both informative academically, but also in a way, entertaining.

In this journal blog, describe one of the injuries talked about in Section 2 of the essay. Explain in your own words what the injury is, what harm it causes, and how it happened.

Remember to include your ID# in your post. Aj. M

  1. One healthy woman faced with a stroke while practicing yoga. She did the wheel or upward bow which she had to lie on her neck and then lift her body into a semicircular arc. While balancing on her head, her neck bent too much which resulted in many negative effects. She got throbbing headache, had no sensation on the right side, cannot see properly and her eyes were closed, her left arm and leg had no respond, and she was not of walking without any help. A reason of these effects was her blood vessel reduced its sizes; therefore, there is not enough blood to go to the brain. Owing to the reduction of blood vessel, it resulted in dead tissue in her skull because her cerebellum suffered a major failure of blood supply.

  7. W. Ritchie Russell, a famous British doctor, claims that some poses of yoga can torture people's body, causing strokes even healthy people. He discoverd that direct trauma to the head is not the only reason of brain injuries. Quick movements or extensions of the neck. Generally, people neck can spread forward, backword and sideways 75, 40 and 45 respectively. However, yogis are moving the vertebrae more than other people, causing their neck can turn easily about twice of the norm.

  8. Brain injuries also occurs in some yoga pose. Take for example, whiplash pose. Whiplash is a pose that turn the neck for 90 degree in a sudden move which is a over the standard of normal neck that could go only 75 degree. This actions cause the vertebral arteries to produced the clot which reduce the blood flow through the basilar artery and their will not be enough blood to supply other tissues in brain that function the organ. As a result many, when yoga students do this pose for a while, the less blood will flow through their head which result in strokes. Moreover, some people that were cure from this kind of stroke still have to suffer with headache or dizziness for a years.

  9. Intensive posture of the head and neck can injure the vertebral arteries which will probably ruin destruction in the brain. The basilar artery, the artery that combines two vertebral arteries to produce a large channel for the brain, became a major worried because it supports a composition of the pons (playing an important role for respiration), the cerebellum (coordinating muscle together), the occipital lobe of the outer brain (transferring eye impulses into images), and the thalamus (relaying sensory messages to the outer brain).This led blood flow to be reduced to the basilar artery which is results of a numerous stokes. Reductions of the blood flow was infrequently effect language and conscious thinking but strongly destroy the body’s core machinery and sometimes can lead to death.

  20. "Hyperflexion of the neck" is an injury which is caused by cobra pose as Iyengar emphasized. Since students are forced to rotate their neck farther than normal which is 90 degrees from 50 degrees, cobra pose may harm their neck and brain. The quick movement also caused the brain injury. From this position, the thyroid will be stimulated.
