yoga and HBP

"better late than never" with taking more care

of my high blood pressure.

I have had this health concern for many years!

it's time to pay attention more diligently for my

happy healthy lifestyle!

I found this helpful info on High Blood Pressure

and yoga safety at the DOYOUYOGA website:

  

Yoga has amazing benefits such as increased flexibility, better concentration, less stress, stronger bones and muscles, and much more. But for some people with certain conditions, yoga needs to be practiced with extra safety. If you are new to yoga and have high blood pressure, there are certain poses you need to avoid.

 the downward dog is recommended to do against the

wall where the head and heart are aligned with hands stretched

out to touch wall

the above 7 poses need to be avoided as they

all have the head below the heart and it can cause a stroke.

I am doing 15 minutes of treadmill daily and am getting

very conscientious about my blood pressure.

Heart Rate Monitor wristband tracker is great especailly

when I ride my horse and can check  where my BPM is!

heart health is actually the number 1 killer for women!

I'm paying attention!
