Beginning with background chapters on the physiology of arthritis and the practice of yoga. the book takes readers step by step through the postures that can make their joints feel better. Scientifically erudite yet approachable, Yoga for Arthritis is an unparalleled resource for yoga beginners and veterans alike.
