Yoga talk
static holds in yoga benefits the cardiovascular system by: 1. Enhancing Circulation – Holding poses increases blood flow and vascular function, improving oxygen delivery to muscles. 2. Reducing Blood Pressure – Slow, controlled breathing and sustained postures activate the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to lower blood pressure and heart rate. 3. Building Vascular Strength – Isometric holds strengthen blood vessels and improve endothelial function, aiding in better cardiovascular health. 4. Improving Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – Static yoga poses combined with deep breathing enhance HRV, a key marker of heart health and stress resilience. 5. Increasing Nitric Oxide Production – Yoga stimulates nitric oxide release, which helps dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.
