Yoga For Hypertension

18m
This is a great flow to do at the end of your day as a way of winding down. It's also a great flow if you have hypertension (or are trying to prevent it) in the pelvic floor and want an easy practice to go to, to gently create some space and grounding down of the nervous system. I regularly visit these poses in my own practice. In fact, I visit these postures several times a week, especially when I've had a long day on my feet or it's been particularly taxing on me mentally/emotionally. I know you are going to love them, too! Wear something comfy!
All you need is a block and either a cough or a chair. See you on the mat!
