Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
Stand with feet together, ground down evenly through your feet, and reach your arms toward the ceiling, actively engaging your leg muscles. Can help improve circulation and reduce blood pressure when practiced regularly.
Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II Pose)
Stand with legs wide apart, turn your right foot out, stretch arms out to the sides, and bend your right knee. Engages the circulatory system and can stimulate the heart rate while toning the body.
Savasana (Corpse Pose)
Lie flat on your back, with your arms and legs comfortably apart and your eyes closed. This pose relaxes the body and mind and can help in reducing stress and blood pressure.
Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose)
Lie on your back, bend your knees, place feet flat on the floor, and lift your hips upwards. Bridge pose can potentially improve blood pressure and circulation and relieve the heart.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
Lie prone on the floor, press the tops of your feet into the mat, and use the back muscles to lift your chest off the floor. Can reduce stress and fatigue, thus potentially lowering the risk of heart disease.
Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose)
Sit with your legs extended, bend one knee, cross the foot over to the outside of the opposite thigh, and twist your torso toward the bent knee. This twisting pose is thought to stimulate the heart and improve digestion.
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog)
Form an inverted V-shape with your body by lifting your hips up, while pressing down through your hands and heels. This pose can enhance blood flow to the brain and improve cardiovascular endurance.
Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)
From a standing position, exhale and bend forward from the hip joints. This pose helps to stretch the hamstrings and calm the central nervous system, which may lower blood pressure.
