Yoga therapy: Relieve pain, manage stress

The practice of yoga is known to help with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and chronic pain.

Michele Hoffman, a certified yoga therapist at Mayo Clinic Health System, recently hosted a webinar to teach participants gentle yoga postures that can be performed while sitting on a chair or standing, as well as breathing practices and relaxation techniques that can relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, increase energy and improve sleep.
