Text Neck and yoga

Watch this short video on the damage of texting to the neck.  Take a look at each other when you are out and about.  Look and see how practically everyone is on their phone, tablet, or computer.  I mean if you are just sitting at a coffee shop drinking your coffee, doing nothing, people may think you are a nut-job.

Can a teenage girl eat a piece of cheesecake without tweeting about it?  I don't think so...

This can be a problem for sure, but let's take it to the mat.  To the yoga practice.  We need good range of motion "ROM" in all our body.  This is extremely important for inversions such as headstand.  If you are having signs and symptoms of "text neck" I suggest you don't try headstand until you get your ROM  and posture back to a healthy state.  Putting more weight on your head when your neck is so out of alignment cannot be a good idea.
