exercise. It won't give your cardiovascular system a workout but according to
the Journal of the American Medical Association yoga MAY lower high blood
pressure and resting heart rate, ease the symptoms of stress such as headaches
and insomnia and increase flexibility and muscle tone.
And since it is low impact it can be done by people of any age.
Advanced Yoga does get into some rather odd looking positions but you have to
