A Shanghai gym was ordered to pay one of its members 195,000 yuan (US$28,800) after she snapped her thigh bone and was permanently injured trying to follow her yoga instructor’s directions in a class, according to a Chinese media report.
The 55-year-old client, a woman identified only as Hong, first sued the unnamed gym in February last year, three months after she broke the bone as the instructor corrected her in a seated pose called baddha konasana, Shanghai-based online news outlet ThePaper.cn reported on Tuesday.
