A yoga training session was reported, which caused lasting pain to the body. In february this year, a live surveillance video of a woman who had a fractured yoga class generated online attention — when the incident took place, her body gave rise to “gags” and then screams。
The trainees were injured in a single-colour dance at a dance training institution in wuhan. Red star news has learned that, as the leading company in the industry, the agency has suffered injuries in a number of cities throughout the country, mostly in more intensive and intensive coaching courses。

On 22 april, the head of the monochrome dance said to red star news that the premises had been reopened after their renovation and that the injured trainees were being arranged for treatment by the company. In response to multiple cases of injury to trainees, it is not considered to be a reason for the professionalism of the agency's coach, “it is difficult to avoid injuries in sports, which may be a problem of probability, and we have a low probability of injuries in the industry”. He also claims that legal means are being used to defend the rights of some of the participants in connection with the publication on the internet of defamation of companies。
In the case of frequent injuries to trainees, it has been argued that the lack of professionalism is only one aspect, more fundamentally because of the marketing rather than teaching-centred business model of the training institution。
Trainees injured:
Some fractures are still in the hospital
Some of them have torn their joints and are claiming damages
Every day at around 9 a. M., lok cai, with the help of a nurse, went to wuhan and the hospital rehabilitation unit for physiotherapy and exercise; after lunch, he repeated the morning rehabilitation project. She has been injured for more than three months and has not returned to her home once。
Let's go to rehabilitation
Lok yi is from jiangxi suzhou and, in september 2020, she enrolled in yoga classes at the single-colour dance chief sand division near her home, which was delayed by various reasons. In the second half of 2023, at the suggestion of the staff, one-colour dance to wujiang's wugak palace. In december of that year, le chi came to wuhan and, after the dormitories provided by the training institutions had been settled, started to attend classes at the wukuang palace until they stopped after being injured。
Visibility videos were widely disseminated online on the afternoon of 18 january 2024. After the pain, an ambulance was called to take her to the hospital. The hospital examination report provided by lok-i indicated that the lower helix fracture in her left femur and the surrounding soft tissue swelled。
The official profile of single-colour dance shows that it is a chain of dance training brands with 28 direct camp branches in 7 major cities across the country. The red star news interview was informed of injuries suffered by the agency's participants in several cities throughout the country, as well as of complaints filed by a number of participants against monochrome dances in disputes over refunds, compensation, etc。
The kingdom jing was a dance course in 2021 in a city in the west of the country that reported a list of dances. The kingdom indicated that after about 10 sessions she had been torn apart by coaches to a number of joints, including knees, ankles and hips. In june 2022, the kingdom brought to court a branch of single-colour dance on the grounds that it had been injured during one-colour dance training. She was subsequently awarded compensation of $2989 after a court settlement。
At the same time, red star news learned that in 2023, monochrome dance brought the kingdom to court because of its “defamation of monochrome” in social media and the formation of a “unicoloural injury back-to-back defenders”. The court ruled that the kingdom be asked to remove its statements on social media and apologize for the monochrome dance and compensate it for the economic loss of $5,000。
The kingdom informed the red star news that, after numerous examinations and queues, she had undergone surgery at beijing hospital in early january, after which she had rented a house in beijing for rehabilitation. In mid-april, she had just completed her new case against monochrome for medical expenses。
“the joints are torn and four nails are placed in the body and never taken. I can feel them." the kingdom quiet said that after the injuries, in addition to suffering physical pain, emotional breakdowns were frequent。
It's not like i'm in the middle of something. She was concerned about the difficulty of finding a job after recovery and was anxious about the extensive scar on her leg from the operation. Every night, more painful than sleeping, is the coldness of the steel plate, the burning of the scar wounds, and the swelling of the joints, “the pains below the waist”
Owing to the length of hospitalization and the stress of the hospital beds, it remains unknown when rehabilitation in the leg will be completed due to the recent transfer to another compound for temporary placement。
Professionals:
Yoga trainer class "most money."
Day-to-day training is more intensive and more vulnerable
The 33-year-old huang tao was a salesman in single-colour dance for one year earlier, and after leaving his post he was a sales salesman at other training institutions. In september 2022, he began yoga teaching and graduated to work as a yoga instructor。
According to huang tao, there are currently three main components of the business of yoga training in the market: coaching, interest and private education. Different classes meet different needs. “the coaches, which aim to train coaches, are the most profitable, and in the current state of the industry, this block tends to receive more than half of the total
At the moment of “symmetry”, dance or yoga coaches are more popular as a profession. “time at work is relatively free, and at the same time in the interests of their form and health.” according to huangtao, many would like to combine hobbies and careers, which they see as a better occupation。
The red star news learned that many of the injured participants who spoke on social media, including lo chien and jing jing, were trainee participants。
“train-the-trainer courses are well targeted, with greater intensity and intensity of training.” huang tao said it would be easier to understand why injuries occurred if they were known to be trainee。
Information on single-colour dance shows that the institute has a total of 60 hours of yoga first class, each of which includes three hours of instruction and one hour of classroom practice. The first course is usually completed in about two months, and can be shortened as soon as possible to one and a half months, with most of the trainees studying out of work. It is difficult to take leave during training because of the need to ensure the course progress。

There is a lot of physical training and a lot of cultural lessons. When it's too tired, lok talks to his class, "it's not like yoga. I don't think yoga is that tired." huang tao, in turn, said that “the coaches are going to be teachers, not playing with you, sweating, and daily training is bound to be more intense”
In order to ease the pressure of the training and attract the participants to continue the course, lj stated that during the course staff and coaches would continue to inculcate in the trainees the bright future of the profession of yoga instructor and promised that after successful graduation, excellent trainees would be given the opportunity to recommend jobs. “in this way, the trainee's attitude will be lower and he will be more patient in his studies.” lok says。
Indeed, there is no strong “professional development” mentality. Before signing up, some of the entertainers who have been working in the beauty industry for many years felt that, while improving their own form, “one more certificate will always be useful”, it might be possible to become a yoga instructor at home later。
After the injuries, le chi's family had a number of disputes with the institution during the defence period. She found that most of her class started to draw a line with her on her own initiative, and that she was shielded by the circle of friends." most of them want to graduate as yoga coaches and certainly do not want to offend institutions and coaches.”
Operating model:
Light and heavy marketing
"it doesn't matter."
Henan tv reported in 2020 that several participants in the single-colour dance at the dance training institute had been injured and that during the course students were crying instantly. Interviewees stated that not only was she injured, but nearly half of their class was injured and questioned the teacher's inappropriate teaching methods. Similar questions were raised again in the case of the “breeding” of yoga。
At the beginning of february this year, a public circular was issued on the fractures of the participants in single-colour dances, stating that the teacher in question had been suspended from his or her duties and that the premises had been closed; that during the period of the suspension, all staff had been re-trained in safety regulations and tested, approved by the entire staff and approved by a third party。
Red star news notes that, as the leading company in the industry, the single-coloured dance system of the chinese dancers association designates the examination unit, the rys500 all-american yoga accreditation school. There are currently dozens of rys500 all-american yoga association certified schools in the country, which issue certificates of certified yoga union teachers (ryt) recognized by the international yoga industry。
It is understood that the examination criteria for the yoga teacher qualification will vary from one training institution to another, but the examination will generally cover both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In addition, the institute evaluates the classroom performance, communication skills, teaching plans and safety plans of candidates。
“dance and yoga coaches require certification from the industry association certification body, more or less with a threshold.” yellow tao indicates that “the threshold is not high, however, compared with many other occupations that require a national unified examination, and the level of professionalism of the coaches is therefore uneven”. In his view, however, if there were frequent injuries to trainees, the lack of professionalism was only one aspect, more fundamentally because of the training institution's marketing rather than teaching-centred operating model。
Over the years, huangtao has experienced various modes of operation in yoga training institutions in different capacities. He explained that there was a natural contradiction within a teaching-centred institution: once a coach's skills matured, he left with resources, “it was a market decision”. For institutions that value teaching, the core competitiveness of coaches cannot be controlled and revenue generation is difficult to sustain。
The industry's idea of circumventing these risks is to teach less and sell more. According to huangtao, the biggest cost of the day-to-day operation of such institutions is network placement, with a large annual budget for network marketing. In the outreach case, there is a tendency to overstate the impact of the training. Given the high cost of coaching, sales staff are more inclined to recommend coaching courses to potential clients, regardless of whether the other side needs to become a coach。
In the course of the training, staff members will actively guide the participants through various means to continue the advanced courses. The red star news noted that netizens had written that they had been recommended by training institutions to borrow money from the network to continue the fee。
“low quality teaching can lead to disputes and even security incidents, leading to the persistence of a certain percentage of refund rates or damages. But the profits from mad marketing are large enough to ensure that the profits of the institution are equally assured.” under this model, huangtao said, the loss of trainers had less impact on institutions。
According to huangtao, “it is hard to say that the trainees were deliberately injured because it was of no benefit to the coach. It is only in marketing-oriented institutions that it is not important to hurt the participants — the institutions and their leaders are more tolerant of the injury to the participants, and it has no serious consequences.”
