Yoga’s gentle movements and stretches can alleviate joint pain, offering relief for common ailments such as arthritis, while improving joint health and overall comfort.

5. Heart Health and Blood Circulation

Certain yoga poses and breathing exercises promote better blood circulation, supporting heart health and overall cardiovascular well-being.
