Yoga for Arthritis

Yoga as an Alternative to Expensive Drugs, Diets and Therapy

In the past, doctors advised people with arthritis not to exercise for fear it would damage their joints. These days, yoga is becoming more popular with people of all ages. Seniors or people with arthritis are especially looking for an alternative to expensive drugs, diets and therapy to help them feel better and stronger.

Yoga increases Mental Alertness and Muscle Strength

There is nothing magical, mythical or esoteric about yoga. It simply combines stretching exercises with correct breathing to increase mental alertness and muscle strength.

Gentle Yoga's unique approach to yoga focuses on slow and easy movements to loosen the joints and eventually increase mobility and muscle strength. Yoga is not a cure-all for years of use and abuse, but Gentle yoga students continue to report relief from such aliments as arthritis, headaches, digestive disorder and backaches. They also claim to sleep better, suffer fewer aches and pains and have more energy.

Chair Yoga is approved by the Arthritis Foundation

Chair Yoga is approved by the Arthritis Foundation to ease the aches and pains of arthritis sufferers. For many people just starting off with yoga, "Yoga with a Chair" is an easy and gratifying way to get started.

Dietary Issues

Diet plays a key role in the way the joints and muscles function. If you are not providing your body with the important nutrients it needs to lubricate and nourish those joints that keep you mobile, check out how Mary helped solve this challenge.
