Over 4.6 million Canadians are affected by arthritis, an autoimmune disease which inflames and affects joints, tendons and cartilage throughout the body. Kim McNeil, a Calgary-based yoga teacher and therapist, has dedicated her teaching and practice to working with people living with arthritis.

In this audio conversation, we discuss the different types of arthritis and why yoga is such a powerful tool for coping with the disease.
