A: For arthritis, the gentle, structured approach of classical Hatha Yoga is ideal. Begin with Sukshma Vyayama (subtle joint movements) to lubricate the joints and release stiffness, especially in the fingers, wrists, knees, and ankles. Follow with mild asanas such as Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Trikonasana (Triangle Pose), and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), focusing on alignment and breath. Avoid deep or fast transitions. Ujjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath) can reduce inflammation by calming the nervous system, while Shavasana and Yoga Nidra promote healing rest. A warm room and gentle pacing are key for maintaining comfort during practice.
