Washington: A lack of regulation in yoga could be putting you at the risk of injury. Early Show Consumer correspondent Susan Koeppen has said that while Americans spend nearly 6 billion dollars a year on yoga classes and products, there needs to be a regulation when they practice the art. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the number of yoga injuries has gone up from more than 3,700 in 2004
to more than 4,400 in 2006, reports CBS News. Rachel Schneider, 27, who suffered
from back pain, says that, while yoga brought calmness to her life with "a little
bit of spirituality" and physicality, it ultimately caused two bulging disks which
left her screaming in pain. She shares her experience of getting injured because
of yoga, an exercise that she loved. And Koeppen explained how the inadequate
oversight was leading to unqualified teachers being at the helm of yoga classes
and students getting hurt in those classes.
