Yoga Hypertension Exercises

Video Transcript

"Working with hypertension, there's various postures. But, one of the easiest postures to do this is to come up on your knees and on your knees you put your knees together. And quite often people have a problem with their knees. Take a blanket or a pillow up underneath your knees and stand up tall with your shoulders back. Now, take a deep breath and reach for it up high. And, then exhale come down. Now, sit right back towards your heels. And, as you sit back down towards you heels it's more challenging to keep your knees together than it is to separate them. Reach right out. Stretch, exhale. And, then come all the way back up. Inhale, reach up tall. And, then exhale. Release it back towards your heels. Bring the head and the shoulders right down. Inhale, reach right up tall. Now, try it with your knees together and feel the difference of the variation. Deep breath in. Exhale, come down. But, take the ease down between your arms and just stretch. Inhale, reach right up tall. Stretch. And, then one more time. Come down. Exhale, reaching forward ease down between your arms. And, then slide those hands right back toward you and sit back towards your heels."
