Can I take this course if I've had a foot injury?

Please bear in mind that I have no medical degree and am not a medical professional. The advice given is that of a Yoga Teacher. Always consult with your physician for a professional opinion.

Every case and every individual's situation is unique, so we can't provide a general answer for everyone. For information purposes, below you can find an actual request from someone and our response.

(Q): I had an accident when I was younger and my foot is out of shape and there are some stretches in Yoga that I can not do because my foot is not strong enough. Will this affect my Yoga Training?

(A): Yes, your foot will affect your Yoga training, but with the right Yoga teacher and medical care, you will be able to work around it.

Podiatric medicine is so diversified and foot ailments come in so many different varieties, that it would be hard for me to give you any specific Yoga advice without more information.

Lastly, tell your doctor you are taking Yoga classes. Your doctor may even know of a helpful Yoga instructor in your area.

Yoga training is much more than Asanas. Asanas are valuable, but they are just a part of Yoga. With modifications to your postures, you should do the best you can, be the best you can be, and see many improvements.

When you find a local Yoga teacher who has this perspective, you will be in good hands.
