Yoga is a powerful practice for managing high blood pressure (hypertension), as it promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances cardiovascular health. Regular yoga practice can lower blood pressure by calming the nervous system and improving circulation.

Gentle yoga poses such as “Vrikshasana” (Tree Pose), “Balasana” (Child’s Pose), and “Sukhasana” (Easy Pose) encourage relaxation and reduce stress levels, which are key contributors to high blood pressure. These poses help balance the body and mind without putting strain on the cardiovascular system.

“Pranayama” (breathing exercises) such as “Anulom Vilom” (Alternate Nostril Breathing) and “Shavasana” (Corpse Pose) are particularly effective in lowering blood pressure by relaxing the body and enhancing oxygen intake. These techniques calm the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like heart rate and blood pressure.
