Yoga lowers your blood pressure

For patients having high blood pressure, Yoga might be a plus.

Depression or risk of heart attack is taken far from you when you engage your heart in serious aerobic exercises. Every Yoga practice that is aerobic in nature, vigorous engagement in most of the Yoga exercises will take your heart into the aerobic range. However, it does not mean that those Yoga exercises that can’t take your heart rate very high are not beneficial to the heart, they also improve cardiovascular functioning.

It has been established that Yoga boosts your endurance, maximum oxygen uptake and reduces the resting heart rate – all as a result of good aerobic conditioning. One study demonstrates that people who were taught only pranayama could endure more exercise using less oxygen.
