3 min orientation to the principles of practice for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an auto immune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. Addressing our mind and body as a whole integrated complex is key in skillfully handling this disease.

RA primarily affects the joints causing pain and stiffness. Management includes stress reduction and regular low-impact movement patterns to improve joint mobility, strength, and function.

Approach the practice with a yogic mind; be curious rather than critical. Cultivate compassion and courage. Do the best you can with each movement pattern and with equal effort please let yourself relax. Release expectation and judgment. Invite ease in motion and in stillness.
