Hello leggs
I actually answered this post ages ago (in mid February) but we lost this one in the server meltdown. So basically this is what I said:
It is my opinion that if your blood pressure is controlled on this particular low dose medication then you are fine to go into your poses as deeply as you wish. You are making your heart muscle stronger and more efficient by practicing this series. You are the only one to know how deeply you should go. And besides, in your words you “feel great”.
It would be a different story if you had what is called labile hypertension where BP readings are quite changeable.
Over time you may even find that with regular checkups that your yoga and or your eating habits are allowing a reduction in medication. It is great to know that what you do has such a positive effect on your health and wellbeing.
Enjoy the yoga.
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
