Easy Yoga For POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) Dizziness Dysautonomia

Yes! Yoga can cure the POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) Dizziness Dysautonomia. It is scientifically proved that mostly diesese can be cure by the right yoga asans and right food. In this blog we will walk you through the various Yoga For POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) Dizziness Dysautonomia.


Yoga Poses For Pots Syndrome Dizziness Dysautonomia

  • Balasana - Child’s Pose

  • Malasana - Garland Pose

  • Viparita Karani - Legs Up The Wall Pose

Living with the symptoms of an autonomic disorder, such as POTS, can be difficult. Following a wellness yoga exercise religiously can be beneficial.





#1 Balasana - Child’s Pose For Pots Syndrome Dizziness Dysautonomia


Forward folds, such as this one, are extremely relaxing for the nervous system. This grounding pose also aids in the treatment of headaches and migraines, which can aggravate or cause dizziness. Using a block under the brow in this pose raises the head to the level of the heart, preventing blood pooling and providing a massage to the brow.


#1 Balasana - Child’s Pose For Pots Syndrome Dizziness Dysautonomia


How to do Balasana - Child’s Pose

  • Get down on your hands and knees on the mat.

  • Spread your knees as far as your mat allows, keeping the tops of your feet on the floor and your big toes touching.

  • Place your belly between your thighs and root your brow to the floor. Shoulders, jaw, and eyes should all be relaxed. If placing the forehead on the floor is uncomfortable, rest it on a block or two stacked fists. There is an energy point between the brows in the centre of the forehead that stimulates the vagus nerve and promotes a "rest and digest" response. Finding a comfortable position for the forehead is essential for obtaining this soothing benefit.

  • There are several arm configurations to choose from. Stretch your arms out in front of you, palms facing the floor, or bring your arms back alongside your thighs, palms facing up. These are the most typical variants. However, for a shoulder release, you can also stretch the arms forward with palms facing up, or bend the elbows so that the palms touch and rest the thumbs at the back of the neck. In this position, move your elbows forward.

  • Do whatever feels more natural to you. The second option feels good if you've been doing a lot of shoulder work.

  • Stay as long as you want, eventually reconnecting with your breath's steady inhales and exhales.


Precautions For Balasana - Child’s Pose

  • If you have severe knee or back pain, avoid doing Balasana.

  • Perform the Child's Pose on an empty stomach.

  • It should not be done if your blood pressure is too low or too high.

  • Do not practise Balasana if you are suffering from diarrhoea.


Note: All the asanas and pranayama should be performed under the guidance of your certified yoga teacher.

#2 Malasana - Garland Pose For Pots Syndrome Dizziness Dysautonomia


Because we're shortening the distance between the head and the feet, the heart doesn't have to work as hard against gravity in this pose. Because adequate blood flow can reach the head, this can help with dizziness or lightheadedness. If necessary, you can alter this pose with a block.


#2 Malasana - Garland Pose For Pots Syndrome Dizziness Dysautonomia


How to do Malasana - Garland Pose

  • Squat as closely as possible with your feet together. (If possible, keep your heels on the floor; otherwise, support them with a folded mat.)

  • Separate your thighs so that they are slightly wider than your torso. Exhale and lean forward, fitting it snugly between your thighs.

  • Resist the knees into the elbows by pressing your elbows against your inner knees and bringing your palms together in Anjali Mudra (Salutation Seal). This will aid in the lengthening of your front torso.

  • Push your inner thighs against the sides of your torso to go even deeper. Reach your arms forward, then out to the sides, notching your shins into your armpits. Reach around the outside of your ankles and clasp your back heels, or press your finger tips to the floor.

  • Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then inhale, straighten the knees, and come into Uttanasana.


Precautions For Malasana - Garland Pose

  • It is critical to practise this asana on an empty stomach.

  • Do not put all of your weight on your toes or heels.

  • Inhale slowly and gently into Malasana.

  • Do not perform this asana more than once in a single session.

  • If you have chronic lower back or knee pain, avoid Garland Pose.



#3 Viparita Karani - Legs Up The Wall Pose For Pots Syndrome Dizziness Dysautonomia


This is my go-to pose because it addresses so many issues at once, such as headaches, blood pooling, blood pressure regulation, cramps, stress, insomnia, and fatigue, among others. By inverting the body, it relieves the circulatory system. If you have POTS, orthostatic intolerance, or any other dysautonomia, this is the first pose I would recommend.


Viparita Karani - Legs Up The Wall Pose For Pots Syndrome Dizziness Dysautonomia


How to do Viparita Karani - Legs Up The Wall Pose

  • Begin by creating a cosy space around a wall – my personal preference is to simply lie in bed with my legs up the headboard.

  • Shimmy your hips as close to the wall as you can.

  • Step your feet up the wall until your body is in an L-shape.

  • Make any necessary adjustments to create a more relaxing environment, such as placing a pillow under your head or allowing your arms to rest on your belly or out to the sides.

  • Concentrate on your breathing – try elongating it by inhaling deeply and slowly through your nose and exhaling deeply and slowly through your nose.


Precautions For Viparita Karani - Legs Up The Wall Pose

This inversion posture should be avoided if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or thyroid problems. If you practise Viparita Karani for an extended period of time, leave at least 6 hours between the practise and your meal. If you have a heavy head, slowly come out of the pose.



Managing Stress With Dysautonomia


Stress management techniques are important for everyone, but they are especially important if you have an autonomic disorder. Stressful appointments, completing day-to-day tasks that may not have been a problem in the past, and explaining your illness to those around you can all be overwhelming.


Yoga, a practise that has been practised for thousands of years, can be extremely beneficial for stress management. Yoga's core principles, in all of its forms, are centred on finding inner peace and increasing awareness of oneself and others. Yoga comes in many forms, and research has shown that it can improve the lives of many patients, including those suffering from cancer, chronic pain, depression, and heart disease.


There are many aspects to wellness:

  • Social

  • Physical

  • Environmental

  • Medical and dental

  • Nutritional

  • Spiritual

  • Psychological and emotional

  • Behavioral and intellectual

  • Occupational and financial





Note: All the asanas and pranayama should be performed under the guidance of your certified yoga teacher.
