Yoga helps recovery from a broken back

Yoga has many benefits. In this story, yoga has helped someone recover from a broken back.

BBC NEWS | Health | ‘Doing yoga saved my broken back’ reports:

“‘So I began very gingerly to practise yoga again and at that time had advice from my teacher and the Iyengar family in India, who had founded the yoga school that I teach in.

‘They said they wanted to see pictures of my injuries so I had somebody take pictures of my torso, showing the shape of my rib cage after these injuries, various pictures of my ribs, broken fingers and toes.
‘These pictures were faxed to India and they looked at them and recommended a programme for me.
‘I pursued this programme and became stronger and made a full recovery.”
