"How cycling can wreak your body" or "how exercise can wreak your body" may not have the same catchiness to it but it is perfectly plausible headline.
Yoga needs to be done under expert supervision just like almost any activity that puts your body thru a range of motions not encountered in daily life.
Having personally experienced both Indian and American Yoga lessons - there is a fascinating aspect that comes up.
In the US almost always the discussions devolved into "I can master X pose for Y minutes without breaking a sweat" type ego stroking - exactly like "I can do 20 reps at 100 Pounds" boasting in a Gym. the whole mindset was Yoga was something that you had to master to beat in some sense.
In India (personal anecdote) the yoga teacher always emphasized "FLOW" - how smoothly can you transition between a set of fairly simple poses with maximum awareness. It almost felt like a totally different thing compared to the US style.
