The Yoga Way to Fitness
One of my articles called The yoga way to fitness has been published in the Erickson Tribune.
Krishna Raman, a doctor of internal medicine, therapeutic yoga specialist, and author of the book A Matter of Health says, “Any kind of physical activity benefits people of all age groups. Older people who go to a fitness center or at least walk every day have better lean muscle-to-fat ratios and are more agile.� The physical activity of yoga is no different.

“By doing the yoga poses (asanas) you improve your flexibility and circulation, which leads to healthier aging. A type of yoga called Iyengar yoga offers the use of props or assistive equipment, thereby helping older people do poses correctly,â€? says Raman. Props or assistive equipment provide support for certain areas of your body, and can help you balance.”
