High Blood Pressure

Yoga Postures


Padangusthasana (Big Toe Pose)
This pose gently lengthens and strengthens even stubbornly tight hamstrings.

Savasana (Corpse Pose)
Savasana is a pose of total relaxation--making it one of the most challenging asanas.

Sukhasana (Easy Pose)
Don't let the name fool you. If you're used to sitting in chairs, Sukhasana can be quite challenging.

Janu Sirsasana (Head-to-Knee Forward Bend)
A forward bend for all levels of students, Janu Sirsasana is also a spinal twist.

Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Big Toe Pose)
Provides relief from backache and stretches the hips, hamstrings, and calves.

Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)
Paschimottanasana can help a distracted mind unwind.

Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose)
Calms the brain and rejuvenates tired legs.

Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog)
One of the most widely recognized yoga poses... an all-over, rejuvenating stretch.

Agnistambhasana (Fire Log Pose)
Stretches the outer hips intensely, particularly the piriformis, which is often the main culprit of sciatic pain.

Virasana (Hero Pose)
Virasana is a balm for tired legs at the end of the day, as well as an alternative to Lotus for seated meditation.

Supta Virasana (Reclining Hero Pose)
Intensifies the stretch in the thighs and ankles of its upright version.

Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)
Uttanasana will wake up your hamstrings and soothe your mind.
