Hello,

I wanted to thank yogawithdaba for your article about labral tears – it was very helpful. I have a labral tear (MRI confirmed) caused by doing the pigeon pose and being hyper mobile :(. I’m hoping to avoid surgery and my doctor told me not to do any hip flexion (knee to chest) on the hurt side. I don’t usually post on forums, but wanted to share a recent article in the New York Times about yoga and injuries. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/magazine/how-yoga-can-wreck-your-body.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&hpw;
Like all good things (yoga has been wonderful in my life!), I guess it’s important to do yoga in moderation and listen to our bodies, have a good teacher who can recognize if we go too far, and know about our own limitations, and the dangers of certain poses for certain people. Thank you to everyone who shared their experience with hip surgery and yoga …. it has been very helpful 🙂 .
