Yoga for arthritis helps to strengthen the joints and increase flexibility. It also tends to soothe the tensed points of the joint. Arthritis is related to joint discomfort. Swelling, stiffness, and a reduction in range of motion are common signs of arthritis. The severity of the symptoms varies over time. Prolonged arthritis can cause extreme pain, inflammation, skin discoloration, and a sensation of heat close to the joint, making it difficult to do everyday tasks and making walking and daily movement difficult.
