Healing the heart

[Yogi001]

Hey, has anyone heard about the latest proven benefits of yoga? Apparently, it can heal a diseased heart, I think that's amazing.
I think it is something to do with being in the moment.

I love yoga, and have found it very peaceful, almost like a meditation. Mentally and physically I have benefitted.

Hi Yogi001,

I am aware of the power of yoga, and have even dabbled myself, I have found it excellent for back pain. Do you know how it can heal a diseased heart?

Hi Louise,

I think it has to do with lowering stress levels, and the calming affects of yoga.

It helps to reduce blood pressure and reduce cholesterol.

Below is a pose that is good for everyone, a simple stretch, but is known to help lower blood pressure.

I use yoga as a way of unwinding and focusing on my inner core after a hard day working in hospital, it’s a time to breathe deeply and shit the madness of the world out

Did you really mean to say “shit the madness out of the world out”? :jb:

I think the advice should stand, in the current climate, it seems quite apt :comfort:

My ex husband has had a heart attack today at the age of 51 so I hope there is a way using yoga to heal his heart
