Yoga and Neck Problems: What’s the Risk?

Yoga and neck problemsBy Dr. Paul Jerard, E-RYT 500, YACEP

Is there a connection between healing methods in Yoga and neck problems?  Maybe you or a friend has chronic neck problems and you have heard Yoga is a big help for pain, but you are still concerned. You have every right to be concerned, so let’s go through a safe, step-by-step, procedure before, during, and after, your first Yoga class. Firstly, a Yoga student, who has such a serious ailment, should get their doctor’s, or chiropractor’s, permission before starting to practice Yoga with a teacher. If possible, get a doctor’s referral to a particular certified Yoga teacher, who is more knowledgeable in this area. Many doctors often network with local Yoga teachers, studios, and ashrams, for the benefit of their patients.

Chair Yoga sessions or classes may be advisable in some instances. Yoga postures practiced during Chair Yoga classes will not put pressure on the neck. Contrary to popular belief Chair Yoga is not for seniors only. It is also wise to find a Yoga teacher who has been thoroughly trained in the use of props, modifications, and completely understands your ailment. Find a certified Yoga teacher who is empathic, understanding, gentle, and knowledgeable. At that point, set up an interview with your prospective teacher, and explain your ailment in detail. The methods, personalities, knowledge, and patience, of instructors who are teaching, will vary. A subject of therapeutic Yoga and neck problems is not common for the average fitness-based instructor. The right teacher will likely have experience and a track record in working with Yoga and neck problems.

Some of the Yoga poses that I would not recommend would be: Sirsasana (Headstand); Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand); Halasana (Plow Posture); or any other posture that could cause severe compression on the cervical vertebrae (neck). Also, your doctor should be made aware of any risky movements and positions performed in a Yoga class, such as, chin locks, neck rolls, and fingers clasped behind the neck. To be honest, neck rolls with the head tilted back and clasped fingers behind the neck are not advisable, even if you have a healthy neck.

You will find it is important not to do any Yoga exercises or postures that hurt, even a little bit. Pain is your body’s way of telling you, “not to do that and stop now.” The exercises, that will help you the most, are those where you will feel a smooth and gentle stretch. If you don’t feel a gentle stretch, I suspect those Yoga poses are not doing you much good. If any exercises hurt at all, stop doing them immediately. I have yet to see a student, patient, or client, benefit from doing any Yoga pose that caused pain. To continue further on this point: Any treatment, of any kind, (Chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, or Yoga), should be with the goal of less pain. Why do it, at all, if you are going to be in more pain?

Risks to Beginners

It’s worth mentioning, one more time, that everyone with pre-existing neck pain should consult a physician before practicing Yoga. Learning Yogic methods for a serious condition, such as a chronic neck ailment, should be practiced under maximum supervision with a competent Yoga teacher. I would suggest at least one private lesson before trying a group class. A Yoga teacher may suggest, at least, a few private Yoga sessions, so that the student understands all the safety guidelines. Lastly, ie would be wise to use videos only if you are very familiar with the particular technique demonstrated in the video. As educational as videos are, they pale in comparison to the in-person or virtual guidance of a competent Yoga instructor.  Many of the videos available today are great learning tools for teachers and experienced students, but without guidance, beginners are taking risks. Healing methods in Yoga and neck problems have a successful connection, but it is worth a student’s time to consult, research, and learn the method before practicing at home.

Is the USA “free,” your 20s vs 30s, high school trauma w 🍷 and my best friends from childhood

👂 Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2VzvlQA
Why does the USA brainwash us into thinking we’re the only country that has “freedom?” We know that time is a construct, but still, why does it feel like there’s something about turning 30 that seems…so refreshing? And lastly, after all these years around the world, I feel like my friends from the good ol’ friendly Midwest would be the *first* to speak up if they felt they were being treated unfairly (which is not the perception people have about that part of the world!?). In other words, they are not afraid to put a rude a$$ mofo in their place. This and more with some of my closest friends from my childhood in Indiana!

Power and Policy to Build Our Infrastructure

Dear allies, 

Just this week, Massachusetts legislative committees forwarded several bills, advocated for by us and our partners, to build equitable infrastructure in our state. With recent movement of proposals like H.3526, An Act Relative to Low-Income Fares, we must uphold the momentum to pass legislation that provides much-needed financial relief to our communities. As we move forward, we’ll continue to call on our leaders to implement policies that work for everyone. By establishing infrastructure that promotes access to essential public goods and services, we can reduce the strain on working families and communities in our commonwealth.

This month, and every month, we’ll continue to combat racial injustice and oppression within our communities. Through education, recognition, and action, we can uplift Black voices and build toward a better future for all. Together, we are working toward a collective liberation and systems of inclusion within our communities.

Below you will find opportunities to engage and continue the fight on many issues that affect our communities and allies. Please spread the word by sharing our Facebook posts as well as following and retweeting us on Twitter. You can sign up to receive regular updates from CLU.

In Case You Missed It!

NEW Report: A low-income fare at the MBTA would bolster struggling Massachusetts families with $500 annual savings per rider
A recent report by the Public Transit Public Good Coalition reveals that a low-income fare system would save riders up to $500 annually. This system would reduce costs for eligible riders by almost $50 million. Rising fare prices have placed a high burden on working families, and the MBTA would be able to provide relief through the allocation of ‘one-time funds.’ Implementing this system would increase mobility for low-income riders and greatly reduce costs for more than 90,000 people.

Read the full report at Public Transit Public Good.


Letter to the Editor: T leadership disappoints riders again over low-income fares
“The pandemic has taken a financial toll on working people, and reducing the cost of public transit would dramatically improve the affordability and accessibility of the T. We estimate that a pilot program would cost the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority only $42 million, 2 percent of its budget. The T could use one-time funds to run a yearlong pilot program. The agency must do this now, instead of ignoring the needs of our communities and MBTA riders.”

Read the full letter at The Boston Globe.

We, along with our coalition partners, are excited to see the movement of the low-income fare bill through the legislature. 


Op-ed: Why fighting climate change must embrace cultural and economic diversity
In a recent op-ed, Paulina Casasola, organizer at Clean Water Action, Luisa Santos, researcher at Community Labor United, and Staci Rubin, Vice President for Environmental Justice at the Conservation Law Foundation, highlight the importance of Massachusetts’ three-year energy plan. In the face of climate change, implementing energy efficiency programs that benefit renters and BIPOC residents is critically important. This plan will promote necessary accessibility and inclusion to Massachusetts’ energy efficiency programs. 

Read the op-ed in WGBH.


Letter to the Editor: A Massachusetts child tax credit would relieve families
“‘Families face tough times as child tax credit ends’ (Page A1, Jan. 24) exposes the heartbreaking reality of working-class families with young kids. Families depend on multiple forms of child care to get by, and 1 in 4 families used the federal advance Child Tax Credit payments to pay for child care expenses. Our child care system needs systemic change, but right now families need immediate relief to offset the high cost of raising kids, including child care. Local leaders should step up and utilize American Rescue Plan funding to establish a Massachusetts child tax credit to alleviate the abrupt end of the federal credit.”

Read the full letter at The Boston Globe.

This Transit Equity Month, there are a number of ways to take action. Together, we can advocate for affordable and inclusive transit in our commonwealth. Take a stand by attending these events organized by our partners Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE), T Riders Union, Boston Teachers Union (BTU), NAACP Boston Branch, and allies. Today is the Transit Equity Day of Action, but there are more chances to get involved. Save the date for these exciting opportunities for action.

Clean Water Action, Conservation Law Foundation, GreenRoots, and Community Labor United issue statement on the new Energy Efficiency Three-Year Plan
“In a joint statement, the groups Clean Water Action, Conservation Law Foundation, and Community Labor United said they were disappointed that specific measures to help environmental justice communities had been watered down and made vague. ‘DPU’s actions today send a clear message that they fail to understand, let alone value, the interconnections between poverty, racial, and climate justice that are now a formal part of their public mandate, the groups said in the statement.”

Mass Renews Alliance Press Briefing
This Wednesday, Mass Renews Alliance held a press briefing to call on Massachusetts’ legislators to pass the Building Justice with Jobs Act H.3365/S.2226, the Food Justice with Jobs Act H.967/S.495, and the Food Justice Frontline Act H.973/S.564. Mass Renews Alliance and allies were joined by lead sponsors Sen. Marc Pacheco, Sen. Patricia Jehlen, Rep. Christina Minicucci, Rep. Adrian Madaro, Rep. David LeBoeuf, Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa, and Rep. Tami Gouveia to advocate for these initiatives. If passed, these policies would create thousands of jobs, improve the safety of millions of homes, and promote access to local, fresh food for families who need it. 

Watch the event livestream on Mass Renews Alliance’s Facebook page, and read more about the event at WWLP. 


Calling on Legislators to Support the Work and Family Mobility Act 
Under Massachusetts law, immigrants without legal status are currently ineligible for a driver’s license. The Work and Family Mobility Act, H.3456 and S.2289, would enable immigrants in our community, regardless of status, to hold a license. This mobility allows access to critical goods and services, as well as transportation to employment.

An extension order was filed this week, allowing the Work and Family Mobility Act until early March to move out of committee. Join us in calling on State Representatives and Senators to support the act today.

Filip Hrgovic and Tony Yoka Keep on Rolling in Separate Bouts on European Soil

Whoever coined the phrase that “you can’t please ’em all” might have been referring to someone like Doug Blackburn, one of the rare dissenters in assessing what he had seen during the classic welterweight unification showdown of Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns on Sept. 16, 1981, in the outdoor stadium at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace.

Writing for the Town Talk in that noted boxing hotbed of Alexandria, La., Blackburn, who saw the fight at a closed-circuit venue, wrote a column in which he offered his opinion that the matchup of two great champions in their prime “like many heavily-hyped, much anticipated meetings, failed to live up to prefight expectations. Despite Sugar Ray’s dramatic rally, neither man can be too satisfied with the way he fought.”

Yeah, well, there are still people here and there who insist that the Earth is flat and the sun revolves around the moon. But for most fight fans fortunate enough to have witnessed Leonard-Hearns I – there would be a too-long-delayed rematch, on June 12, 1989, which ended in a desultory split draw that many thought should have gone Hearns’ way – the classic original, in which Leonard, trailing on all three scorecards, staged a dramatic rally to win on a 14th-round stoppage, is a gold standard for what such megafights are supposed to be, but frequently aren’t.

Think not? In the 40 years since Leonard and Hearns made ring magic, similarly stratospheric hopes were tied to the Sept. 18, 1999, unification bout between undefeated welterweight titlists Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad, which was not exactly a thrillfest when measured against Leonard-Hearns I. The outcome was tinged in controversy, true, but only because De La Hoya, mistakenly thinking he was too far ahead on points to lose on the scorecards, coasted the last three rounds and was stunned when Tito was awarded a majority-decision victory. There would be no rematch.

In a financial sense, the May 2, 2015, pairing of celebrated welterweight champs Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao obliterated all revenue records with an overall take of $600 million, far outdistancing the then-high-water mark of $50 million-plus nearly 34 years earlier for Leonard-Hearns I, when the technology for milking every available dollar from fights of that scope was still comparatively primitive. But Mayweather, an indisputably great fighter whose strengths are pinpoint counterpunching and impenetrable defense, was content to craft another workmanlike performance in handily outpointing “PacMan,” who claimed he was hindered by a shoulder injury. Both fighters greatly enriched themselves, but the fight, which was generally conceded to be four to five years past its optimal date, did little to satisfy most fans’ craving for the kind of two-way action that was promised but not delivered.

Leonard-Hearns I, on the other hand, had more than its share of exclamation-point moments, for each fighter, the most obvious being the finishing flurry in which Leonard, his left eye badly swollen and increasingly aware that the victory he had presumed would be his was becoming less and less likely, seized command in the 14th round with, depending on whose count you choose to believe, 23, 25 or 28 unanswered blows. It was left to referee Davey Pearl to rescue the dazed and defenseless Hearns after an elapsed time of 1 minute, 45 seconds.

At the post-fight press conference, Leonard, his ugly, purplish left eye and puffy cheekbone hidden behind oversized dark glasses, explained why and how he had been able to mine a vein of toughness many had presumed the 1976 Olympic gold medalist lacked.

“I was afraid of the right hand of his until the very end,” Leonard admitted of Hearns’ vaunted power. “He dropped some real bombs on me, and I knew he had another one left.

“I pulled this one out by reaching down into my guts, into my heart. I knew I was behind. I knew I had to keep the pressure up. There wasn’t anything I could do but find out what was inside me.”

Sometimes, the beauty of boxing is most illustrated by the unsightly. Leonard, whose inner iron had been glimpsed most notably in his close, unanimous-decision loss to Roberto Duran on June 20, 1980, in Montreal, demonstrated to any remaining doubters that he was so much more than the possessor of a dazzling smile, matinee-idol looks and a glib way in expressing himself.

John Schulian, the outstanding sports columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, described Leonard’s come-from-behind surge thusly:

After all those miles and all those smiles, Sugar Ray Leonard wasn’t pretty any more. He was a one-eyed man in an ugly fight that had nothing to do with the glitz and glamor that have been his calling card. There had been a time when he could have avoided this grim marathon, a time in the sixth and seventh rounds when he could have added Thomas Hearns to his list of victims. But the moment had passed and Hearns had escaped, and now Leonard, his handsome face a scowling bruise, was struggling for survival.

And this, from the New York Daily News’ Mike Lupica:

Away from the ring he fools you with the con man’s smile and the smooth patter and the slick attitudes about his own high finance …This is Ray Charles Leonard, child of hype, maker of millions, the 25-year-old man who will soon be the richest fighter in the history of the game. And that is why he fools you when he steps out of Dun and Bradstreet and into a pair of boxing trunks and becomes Sugar Ray Leonard. Boxing will never seem hard enough, dirty enough, bloody enough for Sugar Ray Leonard. Only in special moments will we see the man’s steel, and heart, and extraordinary ability to bang and grapple when a fight is on the line. Only when someone tries to take his title away from him will we realize there is a hoodlum inside the tuxedo.

To the winner go the spoils, or at least that is what usually happens. While Leonard added another layer to his burgeoning reputation as a special fighter, a historically significant fighter, the vanquished Hearns – not known as a fount of nifty sound bites and attention-grabbing quotes – might have gained nearly as much in defeat as had the triumphant Leonard. It had been generally conceded going in that, were the fight to end in the early rounds, it would be Hearns who would have his hand raised. If enough rounds tolled by, perhaps all the way to the conclusion of the scheduled 15, the momentum would necessarily shift to Leonard (30-1 with 21 KOs entering the bout), widely seen as a less devastating puncher than Hearns (32-0, 30 KOs) but also as a more polished stylist and executor of strategical options. That scenario was repeated so often during the run-up to the bout that it almost came to be accepted as incontrovertible fact.

Team Leonard, for the most part, rolled with the notion that Hearns was a human robot whose Plan A was to land that pulverizing overhand right, as early as possible and as often as necessary. His Plan B would be … well, there really wasn’t one, if Leonard and his crafty trainer, Angelo Dundee, were to be believed.

“This is the first time in my career I’ve had visions of a fight,” Leonard said a few days before he would get the opportunity to implement his imagination. “I see thousands and thousands of people. I see Hearns missing and being aggravated and frustrated. I see me raising my hands. I’ve had this dream, this vision, for over two months. It just has to come true.

“I’ve said Hearns fights one way and can’t fight no other way. I heard he might try to box me. I wish he would try. Hearns is a puncher. With that reach of his, well, he’s a freak, really. He comes straight at you. He doesn’t need to think.”

And if the “Motor City Cobra” did find that he might need to think?

“He’ll blow a fuse.”

Added Dundee: “Hearns might be 6-foot-2, (actually 6’1”) but he spreads his legs and that will bring him eyeball-to-eyeball with Leonard. He tries to sucker you by carrying the left real low like Bobby Foster used to do, and then he rears back and nails you with the right. But Leonard isn’t going to fall for any of those traps. It will be interesting to see what happens to Hearns if he sees he can’t take Leonard out in a few rounds. Will he panic and punch himself out like Foreman did against Ali?”

Like Ali, Leonard was a master of mind games meant to mentally discombobulate an opponent if possible. But Hearns’ manager-trainer, Emanuel Steward, had worked with Hearns since he was 12, and he insisted that Leonard’s taunts and posturing would have no effect on his guy.

“Both (Wilfredo) Benitez and Duran took a lot out of Leonard, physically and mentally,” Steward suggested. “I know that after the Benitez fight Leonard was mentally exhausted. Besides, now that he has made all those millions from all those fights, he no longer has that burning ambition. The fire is gone out of him.”

Perhaps the most prescient prefight comment came from Ferdie Pacheco, Muhammad Ali’s longtime personal physician, who insisted that Hearn was hardly the one-trick pony described by Leonard. Pacheco predicted that Hearns’ 78-inch reach, unusually long for a welterweight, would help Hearns control the flow of the fight until the proper moment presented itself for him to deliver a put-away right.

“Leonard will have to pay an awful toll to travel down that 78-inch speedway,” Pacheco said. “Thomas will control him with his long, hard jab, and somewhere along the way Leonard will move into a right hand he won’t see. It will be like a fuse going off in his brain. All the lights will go out.”

Truth be told, Steward’s fight plan did indeed call for heavy usage of Hearns’ jab, the presumed key which would serve to open the door to Leonard’s chin for that concussive right. And even if a terminating detonation of the right never occurred, what exactly would be wrong if Hearns confounded all the prefight conjecture by outboxing Leonard over the long haul? He’d still come away as the unified 147-pound champion, adding Leonard’s WBC and The Ring magazine straps to his own WBA strap. It was the same conservative mindset De La Hoya had in putting as much distance between himself and the dangerous Trinidad in those final three rounds 18 years later, with one difference – De La Hoya’s lead was not as wide as Hearns’. Leonard had won only four of the 13 completed rounds on two judges’ cards at the time Pearl waved the fight off, and five of 13 on the third judge’s tally.

But in the 14th round Hearns – who had overcome shaky rounds in the sixth and seventh to again gain the upper hand — chose to engage Leonard in another in-tight exchange, and got popped with a hard left hook that instantly shifted momentum. Leonard tore into Hearns with a renewed sense of purpose, and it wasn’t long before Pearl stepped in.

“It was kind of silly,” Duke Durden of the Nevada State Athletic Commission said. “All Hearns had to do was either stay away, or grab and hold Leonard – spit in his eye, or anything – the rest of the way, and the fight was his.”

Although he never could hope to match Leonard as a media darling, in losing his first bout as a professional Hearns demonstrated that he had ample charisma of his own, and a willingness to go for broke where it counted, inside the ropes, stamping his future fights moving as must-see events. Now 62, he is as fondly remembered for losing his epic, throw-caution-to-the-wind three-round war with Marvelous Marvin Hagler on April 15, 1985, as for his spectacular, second-round stoppage of Roberto Duran on June 15, 1984.

Given all that they had shared, and the place each holds in the other’s legacy, it should not come as a surprise that Leonard was Hearns’ presenter when his former arch-rival was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in Las Vegas in Aug. 2017.

“We’re friends now,” Leonard said in introducing Hearns. “Tommy had the whole package. He was a freak of nature with his height, with his reach, with his power, with his speed.”

FACTS ABOUT LEONARD-HEARNS I

*Main Events president Dan Duva served as lead promoter, another building block in the march toward big-time status for the New Jersey-based company, which was founded in 1979 as a mom-and-pop operation. Main Events took another major leap forward following the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics when it signed U.S. Olympians Evander Holyfield, Pernell Whitaker, Meldrick Taylor, Mark Breland and Tyrell Biggs.

*Leonard opened as a 2-to-1 favorite, but by fight time enough money had come in on Hearns that he went off as a 13-10 wagering choice.

*At a Leonard workout in Vegas, Muhammad Ali was asked who he liked in the fight. “I pick Leonard ’cause he’s just like me, fast and pretty. He’ll dance circles around Hearns,” Ali replied. Then, at a Hearns workout an hour later, Ali said the Detroit scrapper “is awesome, man. Tommy Hearns is sooo big to be a welterweight. He should knock out Sugar Ray.”

*Celebrity quote of fight week came from Charo: “I think the beeg one – Hearns – will cuchi-cuchi Sugar to sleep.”

*The live attendance at Caesars Palace was 24,083, with 1,100 credentialed media members.

*Hearns’ best quote during fight week: “Everybody talks about how great a boxer Ray Leonard is, especially Ray Leonard.”

*Because of the television lights, the temperature in the ring at the time the main event started was right at 100 degrees.

*According to Emanuel Steward, preliminary negotiations for a rematch began on Sept. 21, five days after the fight. Hearns-Leonard II, however, did not take place until June 12, 1989, nearly eight years later.
