Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed study aims to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness, and perceived benefit of a supportive hatha yoga intervention for patients with hypertension using antihypertensive drugs. Patients will be randomized into 3 groups comparing hatha yoga with yoga postures, breathing and relaxation techniques to a hatha yoga intervention without yoga postures (only breathing and relaxation techniques) as well as to a wait list control group.
