SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, July 13, 2002: Teaming up with the American Yoga Association, the Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis foundations have produced a guide called “Remain Active with RA Yoga.” As one patron put it, “I have found it enormously helpful for my arthritic, cartilage deprived hip. The poses of yoga act like isometric exercises to strengthen and stabilize my affected right hip and weakened right leg.” According to the RA foundation, “Yoga may be beneficial for people with arthritis because it balances physical and mental health and teaches stress management through breathing techniques and meditation.” The guide has helped people suffering with arthritis to slowly incorporate the routines into their daily life under the guidance of their doctors and physical therapists.
