It involves a series of graceful movements performed in a slow, focused manner, with deep breathing. It is designed to improve balance, posture and fall prevention, increase flexibility, decrease sleep disorders, reduce stress, rejuvenate our body, and promote healing. It is also recognized by the Arthritis Foundation for improving muscular strength.
