Restorative Yoga & Pacemaker Surgery
Restorative yoga, also called active relaxation, uses props, such as blankets, blocks, bolsters and straps to help you soften and relax into each pose. Many people do restorative yoga as a healing practice. After pacemaker surgery, your doctor may recommend limited exercise and avoiding heavy lifting for the first four to six weeks. As you recover, the American Heart Association suggests gentle daily exercise -- and to listen to your body so as not to overdo it.
