Regardless of the medical conditions or ailments that people have, they should don their ladies yoga clothing as therapeutic yoga helps everyone, an exercise expert has claimed.

This branch of yoga is very flexible in that it accommodates for the needs of every class member, whatever their ability or physical restrictions, Lindsay Fields explains in a piece for the citizen-times.com.

Anna Ferguson, who owns a private therapeutic yoga practice in Asheville, North Carolina, told Ms Fields that the principles of yoga can be applied to all conditions.

"Though physical asana (posture) practice might not be appropriate for some acute or chronic conditions, meditation and breathing practice can be done by all," Ms Ferguson added.

One condition that a study has found yoga to be useful as a treatment for is back pain.

Researchers from West Virginia University found that back pain patients who donned their ladies fitness wear and took part in yoga sessions experienced lifted mood, less pain and improved function compared to a group of patients who just receved standard medical care.
