Yes, yoga is very good for you – With each yoga, basically you are elongating muscle spindle fibers in other words you are stretching every single muscle during yoga. So yoga or Pilates or any physical activities are very good for you.
Yes, yoga can help alleviate body stiffness by improving flexibility, increasing muscle strength, and promoting relaxation. Regular practice of various yoga poses stretches and loosens tight muscles and joints, enhancing overall mobility and reducing stiffness.
That may depend on many factors such as your medical history and impairments, and why you are stiff

Yes
Absolutely!!
Yoga is a viable option.
I love yoga myself and think it is one of the best ways to incorporate whole body stretching. Yoga also allows you to progress at your own pace and modify as needed, which is very beneficial for individual physical limitations and goals. Enjoy!
