Yoga for Arthritis

The benefits of yoga in treating arthritis and related conditions have been studied for years and proven beneficial. Yoga can greatly increase flexibility and balance. This increased flexibility may improve body aches and joint pains by decreasing the tension in your joints, muscles, and tissues, and increases in core strength help improve your posture to break the cycle of pain mentioned earlier.

It's also been shown to boost energy, build positive feelings, and ease anxiety. For people who have an ongoing illness, particularly one that's painful and unpredictable, the mood-boosting impact of yoga is a great bonus.
