Sukshma Vyayama: Gentle Joint Care

Sukshma Vyayama (“subtle exercise”) is perfect for anyone, regardless of fitness level. It gently moves each joint, keeping them supple and releasing stress.

• Sit comfortably, spine straight, shoulders relaxed.
• Start with toes: squeeze and release, then flex and point.
• Continue with ankle rotations and other joint movements.

Tadasana (Mountain Pose): A foundation for strength and balance.
