By Faye Martins If you teach or work in a yoga school, it may be hard to believe that some people only want physical benefits from one's practice. Yet, the public seems to only know that Hatha yoga training is often mentioned as a system to bring one's physical body into balance. Obviously yoga is much more than a physical exercise, but systems, such as Pilates have sprouted to address the needs of athletes who didn't have a desire for the mental, spiritual, or emotional benefits of yoga. Competitive athletes are certainly the more likely candidates to injure muscles and joints, but anyone can receive an injury.
