Regular practice of yoga can reduce stress and anxiety, and lower the risk of depression in people who have had cardiac surgery

Can yoga improve your heart health? Medical science is starting to think so.

In 2014, researchers at the Harvard Medical School, the Department of Health Policy at the Harvard University and the Department of Epidemiology, Erasmus MC, the Netherlands conducted a systematic review of data from previous controlled trials and studies.

They found that compared to people who didn't exercise at all, those who did yoga had lower body mass index (−0.77 kg/m2), lower systolic blood pressure (−5.21 mmHg on average), lower diastolic blood pressure (−4.98 mmHg) and lower cholesterol levels (−18.48 mg/dl).

Recently, the British Heart Foundation also recommended yoga for people living with heart disease. The reason: regular practice of yoga can reduce stress and anxiety, and lower the risk of depression in people who have had cardiac surgery.

The following six asanas are said to expand the chest, improve breathing and lift the overall mood. If you have hypertension or a heart condition, please consult your doctor before attempting them. You can also consult a yoga therapist on which asanas to avoid for your specific health condition.
