Yoga Pilates Instructors First Aid Courses

In Accordance With BWY (British Wheel of Yoga) Requirements

Many people embark upon yoga to help heal pre-existing injuries, and to prevent everyday life activities making them worse.

We Come To You in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire

Yet the biggest risk factors in yoga that can cause participants to get hurt are not those pre-existing injuries, but the students themselves.  Yes, those that often risk injury by reaching full extensions in poses, or asanas, when their own bodies are not ready for reaches to that extent.

Yoga teachers can also add to the high-risk factors, not all yoga teachers but those who lack adequate training. There are a couple of reasons that where actions lead to injury, one may be where the teacher is instructing a class that is far too large for close supervision.

The other is where the yoga teacher introduces an attitude of competition, or assisting the student to exceed their own ability and flexibility.

That being said, with the best will in the world and the very nature of yoga and pilates, no instructor, no matter how careful and observant, can see what every student is doing and indeed prevent them from injury.
