Yoga is fast becoming one of the highest risk recreational activities of modern people—and part of the reason for that lies within the very word recreational, because yoga is not, actually, a form of recreation, but rather a re-Union with the self and the spiritual realm in which the body is the vehicle of consciousness itself. If yoga was first and foremost understood as such, some 80% of those injuries would vanish, simply because of the reverent quality of attention of the practitioner.
The common occurrence of yoga related injury is a rather terrible irony, considering that many people come to yoga in order to heal themselves from traumatic acute injuries, chronic conditions or illnesses, or just everyday aches and pains. The statistics referencing the amount of injuries attributed to yoga are alarming, and there are some studies which show that yoga has even overtaken such contact sports as hockey and basketball as the most common cause of incidental injuries. The reasons for this are many, and far too layered—demographic, cultural, and historical—to go into here.
Suffice it to say that within the practice of MogaDao Yoga there are numerous considerations and adjustments which are designed to protect students from injury in asana, and some of these adjustments alter the way in which asana is fundamentally performed. Beginning from the head and moving downward, here are some of those basic alterations and considerations regarding the body in MogaDao Yoga:

The neck.
With the exception of the wrists, the neck is the most injured area of the body in yoga. In  MogaDao Yoga, there is absolutely no loading of weight upon the cervical spine. Headstands, for example, are not performed at all. (The headstand is probably the most abused asana in all of yoga, as students are sometimes encouraged to perform this pose when they are at the barest beginnings of their yoga practice).

Instead, a MogaDao Yoga student develops the strength, over time, to move comfortably into Pincha Mayurasana, Forearm Balance, in order to experience all of the benefits of a full inversion. In this pose, the head does not touch the ground, so there is no weight on the cervical spine, and there is no danger of severe strains to the neck or compression of the cervical spinal nerves. (Even this pose traditionally is performed with a strained neck. In the MogaDao Yoga version of the pose, the crown of the head faces directly to the floor, which, besides protecting the neck, encourages the student to discover the innermost locus of balance, rather than relying on the eyes to communicate to the body where it is in space.)

Similarly in Urdhva Dhanurasana, Upward Facing Bow or Wheel pose, the head never touches the floor. Often in the intermediate version of this pose students are encouraged to rest their heads on the floor for support, which puts them in an extremely vulnerable and dangerous position, one in which countless students either radically or mildly injure their necks. In  MogaDao Yoga students are instead steadily instructed to develop the strength to manifest this pose without the support of the head at all. In Sarvangasana, or shoulder stand, students are not encouraged right away into a "plumb line" as an objective, which puts tremendous strain on the cervical spine. 

Rather, students use a blanket or an extra mat to decrease the acute angle of the neck in the asana, or they are encouraged to allow the body to fold slightly, effecting the same decrease in the angle of the neck. The same holds true for Halasana, or Plow pose. And finally, there is in MogaDao Yoga no craning or jamming the head around to an exaggerated degree in order to effect the "Drishti," or gaze, which is often in the opposite direction of a twist.

Rather, MogaDao Yoga students "look" out of their chests, and let the head gently fall to the side, following gravity. This protects the neck from the strain and sprains common with hyper-rotation, while at the same time opening the sides of the neck, the Sternocleidomastoid muscles, in a particularly exceptional way. And, just as in Pincha Mayurasana, by not relying on the eyes for balance, but instead opening and rotating the chest as the very Drishti, or gaze, itself, the practitioner accomplishes a more complete opening or "flowering" in the pose, while at the same time educating the body with regard to how to navigate itself in space, from the locus of the dantien, the energetic center of the body in daoist anatomy, instead of relying on the eyes. This has innumerable positive physiological benefits, but also psycho-spiritual effects, one of which is the quieting of the mind in asana, and a reduction of conventional ambition in the practice.

The Shoulders and the Rotator cuff.
In MogaDao Yoga there is great emphasis placed on the development of the upper back muscles, the rhomboids, the upper spinal muscles (erecter spinae), and primarily the lower trapezius muscles—all of which, when engaged intelligently in asana, function to protect the delicate apparatus known as the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Students are never forced into interlocking hand positions which can easily strain the delicate, and slow to heal, muscles of the shoulder. Forced interlocking and jamming the arms and/or hands into positions for which the student is not ready is completely discouraged in MogaDao Yoga. When a student is ready, interlocking can provide a scaffolding of support that can be useful in asana, but getting there gently, calmly, and without any false force (momentum and jamming), is the key. Slowness and sensitivity is always emphasized.

The Wrists.
In MogaDao Yoga we spend a good deal of time warming up the wrists, whether for a basic fundamentals class or a more advanced class, that attention is the same. Not a day goes by in which we do not take great care in preparing the wrists for their weight-bearing responsibilities, both on a ligamentous and energetic level.

The low back and twisting.
For women in particular, the sacroiliac joint is frequently the site of yoga induced injury. The main reason for this is the contrary forces inherent in certain asanas, primarily in twisting asanas, which tend to pull the pelvis apart, in two opposing directions. And since a woman's ligaments are predisposed to stretch far more easily than a man's (in order to be able to give birth), the pelvis can separate at the SI joints, sometimes slowly over time, eventually creating a hyper-mobile joint that is quite painful. (Incidentally, hyper-extension of any ligaments in yoga is also a particularly female problem in yoga. In fact, oftentimes a woman will be "praised" for being incredibly flexible when really she is merely "hanging" upon her ligaments, stretching them all the more over time, when she believes, and has been taught to believe, that she is moving "deeper into the pose.")

With  MogaDao Yoga there are slightly altered alignment positions, in standing as well as sitting poses, that protect the SI joints in all manner of asanas. Twisting generally is initiated from very low in the pelvis, even at the level of the sit-bones, so as not to stress unduly the vulnerable, and very difficult to heal,sacroiliac joints. 

The Knees.
MogaDao Yoga uses props fairly minimally. It is possible to become prop-dependent, even psychologically, and this is ultimately detrimental to a student's potential in practice. That said, there are times to prop, and any time in practice in which the femurs are rotated externally in order to open the hips, props are used to take the pressure off the lateral collateral ligaments of the knees, another zone of frequent injury. Not until the practitioner is utterly secure with her or his hip flexibility and the degree of pressure applied to the knees in hip-opening asanas does he or she perform these vulnerable asanas without the support of props.

*A note on Yoga Products.

I generally discourage the overuse of—and the mania over—"products"whenever I can; generally, they make us sad without us knowing it. In particular, one would steer as clear as possible of the marketing of a "lifestyle," endemic in our current time, around activities such as yoga, such that, under the deluge of attractive imagery, one feels one needs yoga towels, yoga socks,yoga toothbrushes, etc.. (See me smile sardonically.)

In MogaDao Yoga, one needs these props:

• a good, very firm, yoga mat;
• a block, preferably solid cork;
• a yoga belt (one that can be fastened into aloop);
• perhaps a strap (a "sling") or a bag to carry one's mat comfortably to and from class, and when traveling;
• perhaps a cleaning solution that will not harm one's mat, and that is utterly non-toxic;
• a bolster or two if one has very special anatomical needs;
• a large beach towel;
• perhaps an eye bag, to weigh down the eyes and the lids of the eyes gently, in the meditation of Savasana. 

These products, with the exception of the beach towel, are available from the Gatekeepers at the front desk of any  MogaDao Yoga or MogaDao Qigong class. I have chosen the best products I know of (the mats have a lifetime guarantee), and I do not charge students shipping fees or tax. The MI usually places an order every two to three weeks.
