Serenity-N-Yoga

Studies have shown that Yoga has wondrous results for relieving or significantly lowering high blood pressure. One of the main factors leading to high blood pressure is long periods of sustained stress.  The breathing techniques and asanas of yoga calm your overall central nervous system and encourage your body to enter a state of total relaxation.  In fact, just 30 minutes of yoga has the effect of lowering the amount of cortisol in your blood stream, which is why so many yogis speak of the fellings of peace, calm, and Zen that keeps them committed to the time they spend on their yoga mat.
