Top Yoga Poses To Keep You Free From Injuries

If you love sports then you know that injuries can be caused by imbalances in your biomechanics, repetitive motion or both. But if you are a yoga practitioner then you have a great tool to help you prevent injuries.

Yoga encourages you to be aware of what your body can do and what it cannot do.
