Does Yoga align the spine?
Sorry. Yoga is a fantastic form of exercise for strength and flexibility that I recommend to many of my patients, But no, yoga does not align anything. In fact, like many forms of exercise, yoga can actually cause vertebral misalignments like any other physical activity. In addition, some yoga moves are contraindicated and even dangerous for specific back injuries. In some cases yoga may cause an overflexibility of ligaments leading to instability of joints in some individuals.
