INCREASES FLEXIBILITY

With age, muscles can become short and tight, tendons can stiffen, and joints may ache, says Cheryl. Loss of flexibility in the connective muscle tissue (fascia) is the major contributor to loss of body flexibility. Yoga slowly and safely restores the elasticity of ligaments and tendons, allowing joints to operate in their full range. And the emphasis on stretching helps slows down the natural ageing process of our muscles.
