Stiff joints - these four asanas will greatly relieve your pain

The likelihood of joint discomfort increases with age. A poor bone structure, lack of proper physical activity, and lack of important nutrients in your diet can all contribute to and worsen the condition. While medicine can aid with relief from pain, other time-tested approaches such as yoga can help to eliminate pain completely. Yoga, in addition to treating pain, tones the body and soothes the mind.

Here are some simple yoga asanas that can strengthen your joints and relieve you of pain.

Veerbhadra Asana (Warrior position) 

The Warrior stance is a yoga asana that strengthens the knees while also relieving stiff shoulders. It also relieves shoulder tension and restores body equilibrium.

Svanasana Makara Adho Mukha Asana (Dolphin Plank pose)

The Dolphin Plank stretch benefits the shoulders and hamstrings. It also strengthens the wrists, arms, and legs while reducing weariness and back pain in the body. This yoga stance also aids in the prevention of osteoporosis. 

Ustr Asana (Camel posture) 

The Camel Posture is an effective back and shoulder strengthening yoga pose that also improves spine flexibility, overall body posture, and reduces lower back pain. It has also been shown to alleviate menstruation discomfort and anxiety.

Trikonasana (Triangle posture)

The Triangle posture helps to strengthen legs, knees, and ankles. It extends and expands the hamstrings, groin, and hips as well. This yoga stance also helps with sciatica pain and back discomfort.
