Why is Bone & Joint Health So Important?
The health of our Bones and Joints is essential to keep us mobile and doing the things we love. Unfortunately, by the time we reach our midlife years, degradation in our bones and joints can occur from prior injuries, mis-use and, yes, even abuse! Therefore, anything we can do to slow down and/or even reverse the degradation will pay us dividends in our independence and quality of life. In other words, we have to “work at” getting and keeping our structure strong. That’s where YogaVista.TV comes in! In conclusion, we are here to guide you and help you by offering these structured Essential Programs.
