 Yogic
can prevent & treat structural malalignment, address physiological
and emotional imbalance and ease pain & suffering. This disciplne
systematically uses breath and movement to strengthen, stretch
and stabilize the muscular-skeletal system, enhance respiratory
rhythms, improve circulation, balance internal physiology and
emotions and target the body's natural recuperative energies.
While Tai Chi and Qigong help
one learn to stabilize the joints in a neutral & functional
position, Hatha Yoga works "wring out" the body facilitating
cleansing and tonification. Neither prior experience with Yoga
nor flexibility is required for one to benefit from this work.
Some of the exercises can even be practiced with people with significant
disabilities like quadriplegia or tetraplegia. Elite performers
like musicians and athletes also find that yoga helps improve
skill by freeing the joints and breath.
