Given a human body B, how many permutations of a position P can you move the body into, given the time constraint of a day D?
I had back pain from "programmer's hunch." I resisted doing yoga because I thought I was too cool to do "hippie stuff," but I started doing yoga and my back pain went away. Is my spirit cleansed from opening my spinal chakra? No. My yoga routine includes many body positions I never enter during a typical day, most importantly lordosis.[0] The first time I did the lordosis pose my back crackled and popped. The second time not so much. These days I gracefully enter the pose with ease, and my back pain has magically disappeared.

- treeman79 5y agoYou may enjoy Bob and Brad videos for great stretches. They are physical therapist.
- hereforphone 5y agoOr just stretch and lift. Stretching and lifting did more for me than yoga did.
- cscurmudgeon 5y ago> Is my spirit cleansed from opening my spinal chakra? Btw, there is no notion of a spirit cleansing in yoga. This is all hippie marketing.
- ipnon 5y agoSorry, I mean no offense. Where I live I have met many yoga practitioners who have peculiar ideas about physiology. They do not represent yoga as a whole, or its traditional practice.
- elliottkember 5y agoI’m very familiar with this yogababble. It’s a real shame, because it drives away the people who could benefit most from the practice. I would really enjoy a more mechanical yoga practice without it.
- thombee 5y agoMate yoga is the original spiritual practice from India. It was created as a tool to explore and deepen spirituality. Reducing it to "just some stretches" is a western invention. Which is fine! But chakras and all that "hippie woo" is much closer to "true yoga" than the sanitised version you're talking about.
- jamil7 5y agoYoga and just plain pushups also helped my back a lot.
- seaghost 5y agoYou pain went away because yoga relieved you from the stress.
- ipnon 5y agoI wish the stress was relieved, alas I merely started yoga.
