Signs of Overstretching

Do you feel sharp pain after doing yoga? This could mean you are stretching too much. Here are some signs that you might be overstretching. Tap to check!

Pain

If you feel sharp pain, numbness, or tingling, it's a sign you're overstretching. Stretching shouldn't hurt, just feel a little uncomfortable.

Muscle Weakness

Overstretching can lead to muscle strains and make your muscles weaker. If you notice you are not performing as well or feeling weak in certain poses, it could be due to overstretching.

Decreased Performance

Holding stretches for too long (more than 60 seconds) can make it harder for your muscles to work properly, which might affect your performance in yoga or other activities.

Lingering Discomfort

If you still feel pain or discomfort after stretching, it’s a complete sign that you’ve overstretched.
