People with glaucoma, a serious eye disease that affects about three million Americans, are advised to approach some yoga poses with caution. Studies have shown that inversions like headstand can elevate pressure in the eyes to levels dangerous for glaucoma patients. Now, a new study examines the effects of four milder inversions on eye pressure.

DDP Yoga Review

I'm seeing Arthur Boorman's transformation video all over social media again. If you're curious about the method he used, here's something I wrote about DDP Yoga in 2012.

Yoga Anatomy Myths

Anatomy expert Amy Matthews discusses the truth behind some of the anatomical claims we often hear in yoga classes. These include the idea that twists "wring out the organs," the physiology of inversions, and the proper way to backbend.

Poses of The Week: Cobra and Upward Facing Dog

Cobra or Upward Facing Dog

The next pose in the sun salutation is a back bend: choose cobra or upward facing dog. (If you're confused about where we are in the sequence, here's more on the vinyasa portion.) In either case, keep your shoulders away from your ears and your shoulder blades moving down your back. If you come into a high cobra (arms straight) or upward dog, try bending your elbows in order to get your shoulders in a good position (down and back). You can then keep the elbows slightly bent or straighten your arms if you can maintain your shoulder position.
