Hip abductor strain from yoga

[MsWalterMitty]

I have always had a weak left hip abductor/groin. But a recent yoga pose has aggravated it and now I struggle to walk long distances.

Please make me feel better by telling me whether you have ever injured yourself during yoga? I’m pretty fit and active, so upset that something so gentle has floored me!

Also, any tips on how to help ease pain?

Yoga has a huge problem with injury. Many types are absolutely not gentle at all and require hypermobile range of joint mobility. Very very common. 😟

I sprained my neck about 10 years ago during a shoulder stand. It's troubled me ever since if I over exert or sleep wrong.

I hope you feel better soon.
