YOGA FEET
Yoga foot drop is a kind of drop foot, a gait abnormality. It is caused by a prolonged sitting on heels, a common yoga position of vajrasana. The name was suggested by Joseph Chusid, MD, in 1971, who reported a case of foot drop in a white student who complained about increasing difficulty to walk, run, or climb stairs. The reason was traced to deadening a nerve which runs under the knee and being deprived of oxygen while being depressed while kneeling.Yoga foot drop is one of a number of adverse effects of yoga, commonly neglected to be mentioned by yoga teachers and books.
