Advise for High Heart Rate and Low Blood Pressure

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam everyone!

 

I am new to the group, a KY teacher in Paris France. I have a new

student starting in my class this Tuesday and he has very recently

had some problems with his health. He is on leave from work ( a

trainee lawyer, very high stress job) due to having collapsed a week

ago. His doctor said that his heart rate was too high and his blood

pressure too low, he also lost about 10 pounds in 10 days. My

student realizes that this is due to stress and pressure at work,

working ridiculously long hours etc. and is thus trying to take steps

to help himself.

 

I have already suggested some breathing exercises to do, especially

left nostril and alternate nostril breathing. He has regained a lot

of his strength due to resting, but obviously still needs to be

careful.

 

I had planned to teach the 'Kriya for Disease Resistance'

from 'Keeping up with Kundalini Yoga', but this Kriya has bear grip

at the heart center, whist holding the breath, and I worry this might

put to much stress on his heart. I realize that he should take all

the excercises easy, but would like to know if anyone could recommend

some advice and a suitable kriya that is fairly easy going.

 

thank-you for any suggestions... Sat Nam!

If it is possible, I would recommend that you give this person a private

session before he takes a class, especially if he has not taken a class

before. New students often feel that they must keep up with others in the

class despite warnings to the contrary. It will give both of you the chance

to know his current limitations. Also he might want aanother week of rest

before starting or an ok from his dr.
