As we all know, doing nothing is doing something however, many of us need some support to simply get moving (whatever that may be for you).

Following your doctor's orders, do whatever he/she has cleared you to do. While recovering from open heart surgery, you may find it a little difficult to "move" and that's normal.

šŸ‘‰ Carol continues to say that "Several studies have shown that yoga can lead to significant reductions in blood pressure, most likely thanks to its ability to calm stress, which can cause short-term spikes in blood pressure and may be implicated in the long-term development of the disease."
