For a long time I was very stable throughout the month except when I'd get my period, and then the IBS would really flare. Yoga has completely stopped that (didn't happen right away, took about 9 months of regular practice, but it did happen).
Yoga has also helped me head off stress related attacks. There are days when I'm overwhelmed and overworked and so tired, it's just a recipe for disaster. If I head to class those nights I come out feeling calm, peaceful, relaxed, and I sleep like a rock. I virtually always wake up feeling normal again.
I'd bet yoga would definitely help not just your IBS but your blood pressure as well. You've literally got nothing to lose by trying, and a whole lot to gain.
And welcome to the boards!!!
