You may not qualify if…
- pregnancy or within 60 days postpartum
- having taken blood pressure (including diuretics beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and calcium channel blockers) or statin medications within the past 3 months (statins have been demonstrated to reduce oxidative stress which could impact flow-mediated dilation);
- infection (viral or other) within the past 4 weeks;

- renal disease defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 60 (creatinine will be tested at initial screening and GFR will be calculated);
- prior myocardial infarction; vii) known coronary heart disease;
- personal history of stroke;
- heart failure;
- cardiac arrhythmias;
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;
- recent chest pain or dyspnea;
- orthopedic limitations that preclude the execution of yoga postures;
