As we get older, our bone density decreases significantly. Yoga is something that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their age, size or ability.
Yoga is a gentle, less-effective exercise. It still makes a big impression in terms of health benefits, but it does more like strenuous exercise without bothering or slamming the joints and irritating your body. For yoga, you need to support your own weight, which gives the bones a decent dose of healthy stress. This stress promotes bone density and strength. Retaining some areas where the muscles are tense creates pressure around the bones.
