Earlier, it was believed that a person who had just suffered a heart attack should not exercise. Is that correct?
One should not venture into any strenuous activity immediately after a heart attack, but should commence activity gradually as per one’s cardiologist’s advice. There is no harm in practising the simpler yogic techniques like Yogendra Pranayama IV or IX, or meditation or relaxation techniques. But these have to be done only under a yoga teacher’s guidance. One can start physical exercise only two months after a heart-attack, and that also only after re-assessing one’s cardiac status.
