Arthritis is no longer a problem associated with advancing age. It is now impacting people even in their 30s and 40s. However, arthritis is not really a disease. A majority of people with pathology of arthritis do not get any pain. Most of them also do not find their daily activities being impacted.

There is a small proportion of people who do get affected by it in a minor or major way. Many of them manage it well. Many are unable to manage or bear the pain and opt for surgery.

However, if one has mild symptoms of arthritis or is in the resolving phase, Yoga asanas can help. In many cases, the condition does not deteriorate at all.

The simple series of asanas in this program are designed for all categories and age groups. Regular practice will make you flexible and also help relieve pain in different parts of the body, including the knees.

Enough exercise will be provided in a very gentle fashion. The advantage is that you can practice a choice of asanas as per your time and convenience. Even 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough.

We have given here the most ideal set of practices which will assist in relieving the body, spine and knees. However, please do not practice anything which causes undue pain or pressure.

Make sure you take clearance from your doctor before you start this program.

Apart from asanas, there are tips you could follow, to prevent arthritis or manage it well if you do have.:

–          Do not drink water or other liquids while standing. Always drink while sitting. Sip water slowly after you sit down.

–          Have one teaspoon of ghee (clarified butter from cow’s milk), daily, in your diet.

–          Make sure you walk through the day and are physically active.

–          Try and sit cross – legged with your feet up as much as you can.

–          Keep shifting your position and leg and knee movement whether you stand or sit.

The following are the asanas to be done in a sequence in the given program. These are very useful even if you already have arthritis. You can choose to skip one or two if you have less time on a given day. You can practice this anytime during the day, but on an empty stomach.
