It is common for my students to tell me how much their back hurts when they just start taking Yoga classes, and I always tell them that it is the column speaking helping to learn to listen to it, they are changing their bad posture! And it is the column that resists and that causes them pain.
Many Masters hold and teach that Yoga should not hurt, I prefer to
stay with the theory and teachings of Master Guruji Iyengar and my
Master of Iyengar, who have taught me that it is good to reach that
point of pain where we can recognize that something is happening and therefore a change will occur.
The column is resistant because we spend most of the day hunched in front of the computers or badly sitting in a chair or in bed or in an armchair.
So my advice as a Hatha Yoga Instructor, is to not be discouraged and to continue working on the practice, allow yourself to guide and trust your teachers, take care and give yourself the time necessary to rejuvenate and reeducate the column, what you will be doing is a postural reeducation that's why they feel it and that's why in the beginning it hurts or bothers.

This same can apply to most asanas or Yoga postures, always with awareness and attention, the body will know when it is a pain by postural reeducation or because we are demanding on an inflamed area, injured or injured, obviously in these cases there is never than to insist on these positions until we heal or maybe they are not allowed for us,

Yoga, in addition to teaching us to know ourselves, teaches us to accept and look for ways to overcome our limitations, looking for alternatives and seeing the opportunities that appear before them .
Tell me, do you like my post? Are you going to take care on this?
