It's true because we are most often sitting in easy pose and not jumping into chaturanga or kicking into handstand. It's not true because we have many extremely pressurized exercises -- holding our arms up for 11 minutes or more, for example. These exercises are part of the reason Kundalini Yoga works for me.
