Yoga is a set of exercises that people use to improve their fitness, reduce stress, and increase flexibility.
Yoga can involve breathing exercises, certain stretches and poses, and meditation. (See the Meditation section for more information on what this is.)
Many people, including people with HIV, use yoga to reduce stress and to become more relaxed and calm. Some people think that yoga helps make them healthier in general, because it can make a person's body stronger.
If you would like to try yoga, talk to your VA health care provider. There are many different types of yoga and various classes you can take. You can also try out yoga by following a program on videotape.
Before you begin any kind of exercise program, always talk with your doctor.
