Hello

I feel a bit daft asking this, but is there any connection with Yoga and low blood pressure? I really want to get into yoga and have bought a tape and taken part in some classes, but I haven't completed one yet as I always start to feel dizzy and sick. Could my extremely low blood pressure be the cuplrit?

Thanks!

Hi - I would definitely see a doctor about this. I'm not sure what the various reasons could be that would make you feel dizzy or sick from yoga, but there has to be some underlying problem. You might ask your yoga teacher if they've had other students with this problem before. Whatever you find out the culprit is, there should be ways to simply modify poses that might conflict with the problem (for example, people with high blood pressure don't normally do inverted postures, they do alternatives instead).

Let us know what you find out!

Best,
Heather
