How yoga can support your mobility

Yoga is a great form of exercise that can help people of all ages and energy levels to strengthen their bodies and it can also have a positive impact on your mental wellbeing. There are lots of benefits to taking part in a yoga class and for those with mobility issues that need support from Mobility Aids such as the ones from https://www.abilitysuperstore.com, modifications can be made to the exercises.

There are also specific types of yoga that focus more on strength rather than flexibility and those that have been developed specifically for those with limited mobility and those of older age. Chair yoga is one such example of a specific yoga style.

Yoga helps to build strength in a number of muscles, including your upper and lower limbs, your back and also your core muscles. It is these core muscles that help to support your body and its entire skeletal

system. By strengthening these you can have a positive impact on your overall wellbeing and physical health. Your core also helps to support your posture.

Yoga can also help to reduce stress and tension which can then help to release any knots and strains that can appear in your muscles. Once this is released it can help your movement and therefore your overall mobility. Over time your body will continue to increase in strength.
