About this trial
The purpose of this study is to test a 12-week vinyasa yoga (flow yoga) intervention via Zoom. This program will be for 30 individuals with high blood pressure. 15 will receive the intervention and 15 will follow their usual routine. The investigators will determine if this vinyasa yoga program is feasible and acceptable in this population. Investigators will measure and compare blood pressure and other health responses such as physical health and well-being before and after participants complete the intervention or usual care period. The investigators hope to demonstrate that vinyasa yoga is a good option to improve heart health in people with high blood pressure.
Primary Objective - Examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 12-wk remotely-delivered vinyasa yoga intervention (3 x per week) on cardiovascular (CV) health in adults with hypertension (HTN).
