cardiac yoga - #14168
I am really trying to figure out this thing called cardiac yoga. A couple months ago, I started noticing tightness in my chest now and then and was super freaked out, like my heart just felt off. My doctor did some tests and said everything looks okay, but suggested I try cardiac yoga to help manage stress and improve my overall heart health. Cardiac yoga? I thought it was just some fancy name, ya know? But he mentioned that it helps with breathing and easing anxiety which seemed kinda what I need right now. I've never done yoga in my life though; I mean, can a total newbie like me really benefit from cardiac yoga? I've watched some videos, but I'm not sure what to look for, like, are there specific poses that are better for someone with a history of chest tightness? Does anyone else here feel uncertain about starting cardiac yoga? I’ve been reading mixed reviews online, and I just wanna know, does it actually help with heart health in a measurable way? If I start taking classes, will I see some real benefits or am I just throwing money at something that might not work? Any insights would help!
