Yoga for Arthritis Seniors: 34 Gentle Practices for Joint Pain Relief, A Step by Step Yoga Program for Adults Over 60 with Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Chronic Joint Pain

If arthritis has made you feel like your body is no longer yours to trust — stiff mornings, aching knees, swollen fingers, a hip that stops you before you even start — this book was written for you.
Yoga for Arthritis and Joint Pain Relief for Seniors is a practical, science-grounded guide to using gentle yoga to get comfortable in your body again. Not a version of your body from ten years ago. This one, right now.
Inside you will find 34 practices organized by joint region: hands and wrists, hips and knees, spine and shoulders, plus full-body flow and deep relaxation. Every practice was adapted for arthritic joints from the start. There is guidance on what to do on flare days, how to use a chair or wall when you need it, and how to tell the difference between discomfort that is fine to move through and pain that is telling you to stop. You do not need to be flexible. You do not need yoga experience. You need a willingness to move gently and see what happens.
The practices here work on more than one level. Specific breathing techniques bring down the stress hormones that make inflammation worse. Gentle movement keeps synovial fluid circulating through your joints, which no supplement does as well. Relaxation work addresses the way chronic pain rewires the nervous system over time, lowering your baseline sensitivity to pain. Used together, these are not separate tools. They are one system.
