About This Episode

Can deliberately slowing the breath influence blood pressure over time? This episode of www.YogaInsightPod.com explores a 12-week study by Gurjeet Birdee and colleagues from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Vanderbilt University, and Yoga Well examining whether yoga-based slow breathing is associated with changes in blood pressure and autonomic function and whether the ratio of inhalation to exhalation makes a difference.
