Very interesting and well-argued points by Mr Burras. He does not seem to be arguing against inversions, just presenting a more rational analysis of their function.
Traditional yoga texts often contain hyperbole and exaggeration, it is true; that is a stylistic feature of the tradition. They also contain much practical wisdom that has been tried and tested over a long period and verified by the testimony of many individuals.
Yoga practitioners seem to enjoy relatively good health; maybe a little better than the average; but they still move on from this body at about the same age as non-practitioners, from one cause or another.
