Dear Physician, Chiropractor, Osteopath, Physical therapist, Massage therapist, Yoga or Pilates teacher, Personal trainer, or Bodyworker,
You are invited to take part in a survey seeking to help identify the most common injuries resulting from the practice of yoga. Our intention is to better understand the safety factors as well as the risks inherent in yoga practice. We hope to increase the acceptance of yoga in mainstream medicine, where side effects are routinely documented and the motto is “do no harm.”
The survey is designed only to gather information. No praise or blame is to be assigned to any particular yoga style. We see this as a first step in helping teachers and students to prevent future injuries and in supporting responsible referrals from health care practitioners to yoga therapists and classes.
The survey contains 22 questions and will take an estimated 10-15 minutes to complete. To take the survey, click here.
Please complete the survey only once. Thank you in advance for your time and for helping to generate important new data about the practice of yoga.
