Benefits of Yoga for Arthritis

Medical research has shown that yoga can have several physical and psychological benefits. These include increased strength, flexibility, balance and a greater ability to relax and manage stress. Yoga can help people to breathe more efficiently, and reduce anxiety or depression. It can also improve positive feelings, increase energy, and reduce the symptoms of many chronic disorders.


Yoga for Arthritis was developed at a leading research university by a team of medical and healing professionals, including rheumatologists, psychologists, public health researchers and yoga therapists. 



 Combining ancient yoga practices with modern medical knowledge, this program offers modifications to address the unique abilities and limitations of persons with rheumatoid and/or osteoarthritis.


 In a 7-year randomized clinical trial, program participation was associated with improved arthritis symptoms, disease biomarkers, physical fitness, psychological functioning and quality of life.

“I just want to say thanks again for the dvd; it’s awesome! Your family must so proud of you; what you are doing is changing lives for the better! I know my family is grateful that you have given me the gift of yoga; my practice is very much customized to my arthritis and I am glad you showed me how to do that. In addition to the physical component, the spirituality that has opened to me has been such a blessing." - Mary W.
