Gentle SpA Exercise Routines with SpondyStrong and SAA

SAA has teamed up with Sandra Voss and Alexander Levine, co-founders of SpondyStrong, to bring you a new series of yoga and fitness videos specially designed for those with spondyloarthritis (SpA)! Follow along with these fun and engaging workouts, featuring gentle routines to get you moving in ways that promote mobility, flexibility, and strength. Videos also include suggestions for modifying exercises or yoga poses to accommodate your unique needs.

SAA encourages you to speak to your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen to make sure it is right for you. If a specific exercise or yoga pose hurts or doesn’t feel good, please either refrain from doing it or modify the movement so it feels right for your body.
