5 Yoga asanas to reduce blood pressure

Bhadrasana, popularly known as the butterfly pose, is a simple and relaxing asana that works best for alleviating stress and manages high blood pressure. It also has benefits for posture correction and back pain.

Hastpadungushtasana requires you to stretch your hamstrings and increases relaxation. Extend your hand forward while your leg extends backwards and use your free arm to touch the toe of the extended leg.

Matsyasana, easily remembered as the fish pose has therapeutic benefits for stress and blood pressure. Simpler variations of the post exist which do not require intense stretching of the leg for those who have physical difficulty.

Yashtikasana, also known as the ‘stick pose’ is an asana which helps regulate blood pressure and circulation in the body by stretching your body to its full length.

Utkatasana, or the chair pose enables full body circulation by targeting various muscle groups in the body.
