How can yoga help me with my body problems?

Many injuries and chronic aches and pains are caused by overdoing or under-doing. We might be overworking some areas of the body while others become weak. Just the inactivity of sitting at a desk all day, only using your eyes and your fingers on the keyboard, can cause trouble.
