"Arthritis, a painful and debilitating inflammation of the body's joints. The focus of medical arthritis treatment is controlling the pain and minimizing any joint damage, while working hard to maintain quality of life. Many doctors will recommend adopting a healthier lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Yoga is the premier low-impact, high-result form of physical activity -- many have reclaimed their lives from arthritis pain with the help of yoga. This book shows you how to integrate yoga into any existing exercise routine, to improve your overall health and well-being. Yoga stances release muscular tensions, easing the strain on the body's joints, while increasing balance, strength, and flexibility. Additionally, breathing techniques encourage better circulation to help your extremities stay loose and healthy. Whether you are beginning to experience arthritis symptoms, or whether you want to adopt a lifestyle to prevent arthritis from ever happening, Gentle Yoga this is your complete guide to creating a customized yoga practice specifically for your needs"--Provided by publisher.
