It is important not to forget that real yoga is purely spiritul and requires no physical effort besides chanting. Since everything is spiritual, taking the higher path to produce wellness and health in our lives is most desireable. Of course that highest path is outlined in Srimad Bhagavad-gita and the rest of the Vedic yogic scriptures. Also we want to produce overall health in our lives, not just that which is limited to one area. By working with the transcendental energies through disciplinary yoga, our minds can control matter on a much higher level. That makes everything work the way its is supposed to in terms of the body, mind and spirit relationship. This is also why one should have the aid of a good guru to guide.
Yoga done wrong can be dangerous and can cause adverse effects on your overall health. Some of these side effects as are follows:
Adversely effecting your muscles and cause heavy pain and internal bleeding. Some yoga poses can even lead to fracture or ruptures of delicate bones. This case is especially true if you have delicate or brittle bones. Ruptures like these can take months to heal and might sometimes even need surgical intervention.Some yoga poses can even lead to adverse gastric problems in some individuals. Most people complain gastric symptoms to be associated with hatha yoga postures. This is especially true if you do not perform all yoga asanas in a particular sequence.
Some of the yoga poses are so complex that even experts don't understand them properly. For instance the kundalini yoga. Yoga poses like these done wrong can have adverse effect on you mentally. This is known as the kundalini syndrome. The possible side effects on kundalini syndrome are pseudo death, psychosis, pseudo psychosis, confusion, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, sadness, suicidal thoughts, urges to self-mutilate, homicidal urges, arrhythmia (irregular heart beat), exacerbation of prior or current mental illness, insomnia, inability to hold a job, inability to talk, inability to drive, sexual pains, temporary blindness, and headaches. Even if you practise yoga under a instructor, chances are that he or she is not fully aware of the techniques and might give you wrong instructions. So you need to be super careful if you even consider attempting these advanced yoga forms.
