Health Tip: Beginning Yoga
By LadyLively on October 24, 2016
If you have arthritis and want to start practicing yoga, you’ll need to make sure that your routine is safe and effective.
The Harvard Medical School recommends:
- Avoiding vigorous types of yoga that could injure your joints. Move slowly and easily.
- Opting for forms of yoga such as Vinyasa or flow, which are less stressful on the joints.
- Talking to your instructor before your class about your condition and any precautions you should take.
- Practicing yoga in the afternoon or evening instead of the morning, when your joints may be stiffer.
- Talking to your doctor about adjusting your yoga movements during flares to accommodate painful joints.
