Recent Podcast Interviews with Bernie
Does Yoga Cause Hip Replacements?
Adam Keen and Bernie talk about Adam’s upcoming hip replacement and address the idea that Adam’s advanced Ashtanga practice either caused the problems in his hip or contributed to the pathology. They discuss the anatomy of the hip, common causes of pain, and the implications of conditions like impingement and arthritis. Bernie clarifies misconceptions about yoga damaging hips. The conversation also covers advancements in hip replacement surgery, recovery expectations, and the importance of individualized care.

The course goes beyond the basic information about anatomy and physiology offered in most Yoga Teacher Trainings. The focus is on how the body moves and, more importantly, what limits movement, when these limits can be extended and when they should be accepted. This is the third and final time that Bernie will be offering this second level training in-person. However, this year’s course will be recorded so that others can view the course on demand online.
