However, in a recent study yoga caused musculoskeletal pain - mostly in the arms - in more than one in ten participants.

Professor Evangelos Pappas, of Sydney University, the study's lead researcher said: "Yoga may be a bit more dangerous than previously thought.

"Our study found the incidence of pain caused by yoga is more than 10 percent per year - which is comparable to the rate of all sports injuries combined among the physically active population.

"However people consider it to be a very safe activity. This injury rate is up to 10 times higher than has previously been reported."

At extremes, cardiovascular exercise can contribute to cardiac plaque, irregular heartbeats and heart disease.
