Improves blood circulation
Yoga gets blood flowing. In fact, the relaxation poses you learn in yoga help your circulation, especially in your extremities. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your organs- that’s why they function better as a result. Twisting poses are considered to wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in. Inverted poses, for example, handstand, headstand, and shoulder stand, stimulate venous blood from the legs and pelvis to flow back to the heart, where it will be pumped to the lungs to be better oxygenated. This will help in case you have swelling in your legs from heart or kidney insufficiency. Yoga also increases levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the organs. Red cells thin the blood by making platelets less sticky and cutting the level of proteins promoting clot. This will lead to decreased risk of strokes and heart attacks since blood clots are often the main cause of those conditions.

Prevents osteoporosis
It is well known that weight-bearing exercises prevent osteoporosis by strengthening bones. Many postures in yoga require lifting weight. And some help strengthen the arm bones, which are particularly defenseless in osteoporotic fractures. In one recent study yoga practice increased bone density of the vertebrae. Ability of yoga to decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol may help keep calcium in the bones. Since so many women are just prone to the dangerous fragile-bone disease, this is a great benefit of yoga.
Joint account
Every time you practice yoga, you take your joints through full range of motion. This helps prevent mitigate disability or degenerative arthritis by soaking and squeezing areas of cartilage that generally are not used. Joint cartilage looks like a sponge; it receives fresh nutrients only if its fluid is squeezed out and a new supply is soaked up. Without proper support, neglected areas of cartilage will eventually wear out, exposing the underlying bone brake pads.
