Impact of Yoga on Blood Pressure, Quality of Life and Stress in Patients With Hypertension

"The participants in the Yoga group will get a private doctors appointment (20 minutes) where they get instructions for two yoga exercises to perform at home 15 minutes twice a day.~The two yoga exercises were:~1. Left nostril breathing - deep breaths in and out through the left nostril while sitting or lying down, with the right nostril closed off by the right thumb or an earplug (about 11 minutes); and~2. Spinal flex - movement that alternates between flexing the spine forwards (arching) and relaxing the spine back in time with deep breaths while sitting in a chair (about 4 minutes)."
