Yoga for Arthritis And You
MORE THAN 50 MILLION AMERICANS—INCLUDING 50% OF ADULTS OVER 65—ARE LIVING WITH ARTHRITIS. HOW CAN YOGA HELP?
Yoga for Arthritis was developed at a leading research university by a team of medical and healing professionals. Our team included rheumatologists, psychologists, public health researchers, and yoga therapists. We are proud of our three separate clinical trials at leading research institutions. The Yoga for Arthritis program has been associated with improved arthritis symptoms, physical function, mood, and quality of life. Moreover, those benefits were sustained well beyond the end of formal class sessions as people continued to incorporate the principles and practices of yoga into daily life.

“I just want to say thanks again for the dvd; it’s awesome! Your family must so proud of you; what you are doing is changing lives for the better! I know my family is grateful that you have given me the gift of yoga; my practice is very much customized to my arthritis and I am glad you showed me how to do that. In addition to the physical component, the spirituality that has opened to me has been such a blessing."

In the style of the longest running Yoga for Arthritis class.
For many years, the Integral Yoga Institute in New York City has offered a drop-in Yoga for Arthritis and Chronic Pain class, led by teachers trained with YFA.

It is less physically demanding than the traditional YFA Hatha Class but is a comprehensive practice that begins on the floor and moves to standing and sitting.
