Imagine
This could reduce the wear on your joints and delay or prevent the development of arthritis. This could also reduce your symptoms of arthritis and increase your body's ability to heal injuries.
Imagine if there was a system of exercise whose core purpose was to develop such a union.
If you are imagining this, you are imagining yoga."

No previous experience with Pranayama breathing techniques is required.
