There is a lot you can do for your joints.
No matter how badly you have used your body, however improperly paired your muscle groups have become, you can reverse the trend. And you can do it at home.
Yoga is the answer. Yoga is the most simple and effective way of keeping the joints young and healthy. The superiority of yoga is that it undoes our complex and often used patterns of movement.
You can start at your own level and progress at any rate. Yoga is about journey not the destination. Start slowly and stick with it. The little improvements along the way, feeling looser in your own skin, feeling lighter and feeling younger, that’s the goal.
Start with the most modest, disarmingly gentle stuff, where you really find hard to believe anything is happening at all and eventually progress to more difficult poses-asanas.
But yoga does take time and effort. Sometimes it’s hard just to hold a stretch for a matter of seconds, but this is what it is all about. The harder you find the stretch, the more you need it.
In time, all soft tissue will loosen, even blood vessels and nerves as the body is reintroduced to it’s extremes. Elasticity is restored and so is streamlined, smooth-gliding function. The stretches pull the tissue and create a much more vigorous blood supply and the skeleton is cleansed and rejuvenated.
