Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Acute study:<br> Brachial blood pressure recovery after the Dundee 3-minute step test, measured on the day of the first yoga session, before and after the first yoga session. For each set of readings, blood pressure and heart rate are measured using an OMRON oscillometric device before the step test, immediately after the step test and then at 3 minutes after the step test<br><br> Chronic study:<br> 1. Left ventricular diastolic function, measured using echocardiography at baseline and at three months follow-up. The ratio of early filling to early myocardial velocity (E/e’) is used to estimate left ventricular diastolic function<br> 2. 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure, measured using a Mobilograph oscillometric cuff-based device at baseline and at three months follow-up<br>
