- Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body
- Massaging of all organs of the body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner
