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.

As you recover, the American Heart Association suggests gentle daily exercise -- and to listen to your body so as not to overdo it.
