Ask Yogi September 2025

A: Yoga emphasises calm, slow movement and breath control, which are ideal for managing high blood pressure. Gentle inversions such as Viparita Karani (Legs-Up the-Wall Pose) and Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) encourage venous return and calm the nervous system without straining the heart. Avoid strong backbends or rapid breathwork. Focus instead on Savasana (Corpse Pose), Sukhasana (Easy Pose), and deep Nadi ShodhanaPranayama (Alternate Nostril Breathing) to reduce sympathetic nervous system activity. A daily practice of Yoga Nidra further supports long-term relaxation and blood pressure regulation.
