Yoga for varicose vein prevention combines stretches, strengthening exercises, hip mobility work and balance. Choose a class length that suits you to loosen up your legs and change your usual position.
Exercises in this 60-minute class include “One Leg to Head Pose”, “Butterfly Pose” and “Infinity Pose with Legs Raised”. Butterfly Pose focuses on hip mobility. Find a comfortable position for your pelvis. Towards the end of the class, you'll practice the breathing technique “Pranayama in Cat Pose”. You'll finish with a rest lying down.
After a journey, a workout or a busy day, you can set aside this hour for yourself.
If you have varicose veins or another vascular condition, discuss the intensity with your doctor, especially if the class includes inverted poses.
