Yoga can be a healthy activity that anyone can do, no matter what your fitness level, even in a chair. Yoga improves strength, balance and flexibility. Slow movements and deep breathing increases blood flow and warms up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength. Yoga can make you stronger and more flexible. It's a great way to stay limber and energetic. You'll also feel more focused and alert. And yoga can help you feel great and function better in your daily life. Yoga can also help improve these conditions:

  • Poor blood circulation
  • High blood pressure
  • Arthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Limited mobility
  • Lower back pain
  • Trouble breathing
  • Headaches
  • Tension or stress
  • Depression

Yoga's gentle movements are a big reason for why it’s so popular. Yoga is good for people who haven't been active in a while. It’s good for people who have certain health conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis. You can change the exercises to fit your needs. But yoga is also great if you're already fit and want a challenging workout. As you become stronger and more flexible with yoga, it's easier to do other kinds of exercise like hiking, walking, or swimming.
