Locust Pose

Hi yogis,

I have an urgent matter to ask. If snake pose is not done and only practiced locust for three days, what adverse effect can be encountered? Would this cause high blood pressure? Like super high pressure?

Please let me know as I am suffering.

Best regards,

Mike

When you say [I]I am suffering[/I], do you mean you have HBP?

Locust can affect the heart and it can cause BP to rise. In a healthy person this is not a problem as BP will eventually return to normal. If you have previously undiagnosed HBP and doing Locust has revealed that you have HBP then you might say it has done you a favour. You can now seek medical help and take measures to deal with it yourself. " Yoga on Hypertension" from Bihar books is an excellent book on the subject.
