Yoga and Cardiovascular Management

The book records a historic interaction between Swami Satyananda Saraswati, eminent French physicians, medical experts, and international yoga teachers at Tenon Hospital, Paris. It offers dual perspectives—scientific and yogic—on modern lifestyle illnesses, showing how physical and psychological components interact to impact heart health.

Swami Satyananda Saraswati (1923–2009) was a world-renowned yoga master and the legendary founder of the Bihar School of Yoga. A direct disciple of Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, he authored over 80 authoritative books on spiritual science. He spent decades traveling globally, bridging the gap between traditional Eastern mysticism and Western medical science to establish therapeutic yoga as a recognized discipline worldwide.

The summary outlines the root causes, pathophysiology, and practical management of major cardiovascular disorders. It details therapeutic yogic approaches for conditions like hypertension, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, and arteriosclerosis. Rather than suggesting simple exercises, it shows how specific practices balance the nervous system and manage underlying stressors like diabetes or respiratory stress.
