Yoga is all fun and games until you suffer a horrific injury. A woman's yoga class didn't go according to plan after she suffered a broken leg while performing a particular posture.??
The student, surnamed Wang,?was attending her first-ever private lesson taught by a woman surnamed Li at the end of August in China's Anhui province, South China Morning Post reported.?
During the class, Wang was told to practice the dragon pose, a hip-opening move with multiple variations stemming from a lunge-like posture.??
However, it all went awry after the teacher gave her?instructions and said that her left leg was in the wrong position.
¡°She was pushing down on my thigh and pressed too hard. Suddenly, I just felt severe pain and could not move at all,¡± Wang was quoted as saying.??
The yoga instructor soon called an ambulance and took Wang to a nearby hospital, where doctors confirmed she had a compound fracture on her femur. Wang needed surgery, reports said.
She was in the hospital for 16 days and claimed she was still unable to walk.
The yoga studio paid Wang 50,000 yuan (approximately ?5,760) for her medical fees but refused to pay more when Ms Wang asked for?compensation?for future treatment.??
