Heart disease yoga - #12522

Aasha

I am really concerned about my health lately. A few months ago, I started experiencing these weird chest pains that would come and go, especially after I’d walk up stairs or do light exercise. I went to the doctor, and they did some tests, said I have a family history of heart disease, and suggested I make some lifestyle changes to lower my risks. Now, I’m trying to figure out if heart disease yoga could help me. I read that yoga might be good for heart health and can also help with stress, which I’ve got loads of. But I worry about overdoing it. Like, is there a specific type of yoga for heart disease or something? I’ve tried a few classes, but some teachers push us too hard. I really don’t want to make my condition worse! Also, how often should I practice heart disease yoga? Daily, once a week? I’m kinda lost, and I could really use some advice from you all who understand this stuff better. What poses are good to start with? Can I do it at home or should I stick to the classes? Just feeling overwhelmed. Thanks!
