5 Yoga Poses for a Healthy Heart

Producer:  Riya Ashok

The basic stance tadasana helps with posture, balance, and body awareness.

Ustrasana is a stretching posture for the front of the body, including the chest and abdomen, that opens the heart.

Lifting your hips off the ground while performing Setu Bandhasana results in a mild backbend. 

Twisting positions like Ardha Matsyendrasana can promote circulation and help keep blood pressure levels in a safe range.

Savasana aids in stress reduction, mental clarity, and general relaxation, all of which are good for the heart.
