The early diagnosis and treatment of nascent rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has become a prime objective for clinicians who substantially and sensitively care for patients with arthritis. Many Population-based studies have consistently shown that patients with RA are at substantial risk for progressive joint damage, disability, and increased morbidity and mortality. These inevitable outcomes are closely linked to the consequences of rheumatoid inflammation, which begins early and is progressive in all. A growing body of evidence has emphasized the consistent clinical and radiographic benefits of early, aggressive treatment of RA. Earlier identification, referral, and an accurate diagnosis of RA can now be rewarded with highly effective biological therapies. The aim of this article is to systematically review the existing literature on the use of yoga and its extensive benefits for persons with arthritis. Inclusion of peer-reviewed research from clinical trials within and outside India, that used yoga as an intervention for arthritis patients and reported quantitative findings are the main motive of the current review paper. All trials were small comprising of low patients registrations from the total pool of arthritic group and no adverse events were reported and attrition was comparable or better than typical for exercise interventions. Such work will further helpful in findings of yoga in attenuating the possible complications related to arthritis in large scale studies
