Say Yes To Yoga For a Better You

If you’ve ever tried strength training, you probably have also done some yoga. Many bodyweight exercises such as a plank and the boat pose originated from yoga. The ancient practice has been around for more than 5,000 years and has become more popular because of its adaptability and health benefits for all ages.

In this episode, Lauren Freid, MD, rheumatologist with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) and certified yoga teacher, talks about how practicing yoga can improve your health with Amanda Newman with LVHN.

Why is my doctor recommending yoga? How can yoga relieve back pain? Can yoga help me build muscle mass? Why is yoga a great anti-aging tool? How can yoga improve your mood and lead to a less cluttered mind? We answer these questions and more on The Healthiest You podcast this month.
