Yoga Therapy for High Blood Pressure
Learn how to safely work with high blood pressure clients using yoga therapy.
COURSE OVERVIEW
High blood pressure (HBP) is increasingly common and not necessarily linked to obesity. It often stems from lifestyle factors, making it a preventable condition. However, HBP is associated with serious health risks, and medication alone may not be sufficient. For instance, while medication may help in maintaining blood pressure within a safe range, it’s important to understand that stress can still cause sudden spikes in blood pressure levels, even when on medication.
An essential aspect of this online Short Course is understanding the significant contraindications in yoga practices for those with HBP. This program aims to dispel misconceptions and provide accurate information to yoga teachers regarding safe practices for individuals with high blood pressure.
