yoga exercises for heart - #18794

Mira

I am wondering about how yoga exercises for heart health can really make a difference. Last week, I had this scary episode where I felt this tightness in my chest during my usual workout, and my heart was racing like I was running a marathon or something. I’m 45, not overweight, but my family has a history of heart problems. After that, I freaked out and went to the doctor. He told me not to panic but said I should try to incorporate more yoga exercises for heart well-being, and honestly, I’ve never really looked into it before. I mean, I always thought yoga was more about stretching, you know? Are there specific yoga exercises for heart health that I should focus on? Like, is there a way to measure if these exercises are actually helping? I tried a couple of YouTube videos, and well, some of them seem to be too easy or way too advanced for me! Plus, I’m kinda skeptical about just changing things up without real guidance. Do you guys think yoga exercises for heart issues are really worth it? I don’t wanna waste my time if it’s just another fad. Any personal experiences would be super helpful!
