Seated yoga encourages the release of natural painkillers in your body. Breathing techniques and mindfulness from yoga can be used to manage discomfort in other situations.

Better sleep

Practicing seated yoga prepares your body and mind for rest. With reduced stress and pain, you’ll experience more restorative sleep.
