> like rolling over the head

I almost killed myself on high school gym classes on this, if you combine it with subtle lunge forward, and end up hitting your head&neck perpendicularly to the ground. Vertebras shifted in my neck, doctor said if 1cm more I would be dead on spot. Absolutely stupid and useless exercise for school gym classes, I am pretty sure it creates tons of issues with neck, head and back decades down the road.

But try to bring yoga (without the spiritual aspects, just workouts) into gym classes and in primitive societies like back home in eastern Europe, and religious fanatics with a lot of political power will go nuts and fight it like Satan's coming (and of course they won).
