Every time you wash your hands, you are inundating yourself with chlorine.

A Response to the New York Times article
The NYT article on how yoga can hurt you has brought about quite a bit of healthy conversation regarding this subject. My own opinion is that nothing...that is, no sport, no activity...can hurt you. Example: I played NCAA Division I college football and got hurt pretty badly. I have competed in martial arts for over 30 years and sustained injuries. I have practiced yoga and have sustained injuries. But, I cannot blame football, karate, or yoga for my injuries. 'They' did not hurt me. I am the one responsible. In essence, I am the one who made the choice that resulted in injury. I cannot blame anyone or anything outside of me. For that matter, I do not even blame me. I only take responsibility for my decisions. ~Michael Sutton Read the article.
