Yoga
Iyengar yoga is a type of yoga in which the body is aligned in a correct anatomical posture and props are used to support the body in order to relieve tension and inflammation. [3]
A 2013 study worked on the benefits of a 6-week yoga program for young women having RA. Researchers divided the 26 participating women into two groups: 11 participated in a 1.5-hour yoga class for 6 weeks, while the remaining 15 participants did not participate in any yoga classes.
In comparison with the control group (who did not perform), the participants who did yoga reported great improvements in overall health, mood, quality of life, and ability to cope with disease and chronic pain.
