One of our teachers had to have both her hips replaced. Hot yoga, or Bikram's yoga, stresses pushing through the pain and going for it as hard as you can. She admitted it was from doing the standing tree pose too hard and too much.

As I got older I had to stop as I kept hurting myself over and over again. I learned to push as hard as I could and just couldn't retrain myself - so I gave up.
