posted on 2016-08-01, 00:00 authored by Patricia Dunning
Yoga is a series of mental, physical
and spiritual practices used to enhance
wellbeing and achieve harmony. Yoga
has been practiced for thousands of
years. Several forms of yoga exist but
Hatha yoga is the most widely used.
Regular yoga has a range of health
benefits for people with diabetes such
as reduced insulin resistance, improved
cardiovascular health, stress reduction
and improved physical strength and
flexibility. It is generally safe but
individual benefits and risks need to be
considered.
