Last week, Mumbai's former demolition man and ex-deputy municipal commissioner
G R Khairnar was rushed to hospital after a marathon yoga session. Reports blamed his condition on his monstrous obsession with yoga: He would practise for 12 hours a day.

'If someone has practiced something the wrong way, it doesn`t mean you can blame yoga. It`s like saying, `Is too much dancing going to kill you` or `Is too much cricket going to kill you,' says Zubin Zarthoshtimanesh, an Iyengar yoga teacher in Mumbai for the last 15 years.

Zarthoshtimanesh lays down a list of 10 don'ts, which should propel seekers towards practising this unique art, science, philosophy and a way of life in the proper way.
