課程大綱： 血壓是指心臟收縮時將血液泵入血管所加諸血管壁的壓力。心臟收縮時所產生的壓力叫收縮壓/上壓(120 mm Hg)，而心臟舒張時所產生的叫舒張壓/下壓 (80 mm Hg)。根據世界衛生組織(WHO)對高血壓的定義是在休息狀態下血壓持續地位於或高於140/90 mm Hg。其實高血壓只是一種狀態，並不是一種疾病，這種狀態在正常人發生喜、怒、哀、樂或寒冷的時候，亦會發生。血壓會受交感神經影響下而上升。高血壓的原因分有原發性及繼發性兩種。前者佔90 – 95 %，原因未明，但與遺傳、精神緊張和肥胖有關。後者即有基本導因,如內分泌失調、腎炎及腎腫瘤等。當繼發性高血壓的基本疾病治癒後，血壓就會恢復正常。根據衛生署2003至2004年間進行的人口住戶健康調查發現，本港15歲以上人口當中，上壓超過140mmHg的多達20.3%，下壓超過90mmHg的亦有13.2%，估計香港患高血壓的人數多達60萬 …由高血壓所引發的疾病如中風及心臟病等已是我們健康的主要威脅。患者一般可透過藥物、飲食控制及適量運動去控制病情。據美國高血壓年會上發佈的一項研究結果顯示，降低血壓和釋放壓力如同做一次深呼吸一樣簡單，這是研究者對瑜伽和音樂對血壓的影響進行研究後得出的結論。而趕走高血壓瑜珈班是希望透過一些有利趕走高血壓的瑜珈式子及呼吸法,協助患者進行一些伸展及扭轉的動作,改善中樞神經系統的調節機能，降低交感神經的興奮性，減輕精神壓力，改善情緒，達到心靜氣和的目的，從而起到穩定血壓的效果。

Yoga Class for the Hypertension

Date and Time: Group M：15/3, 22/3, 29/3/2012 (Every Thursday), 11:30-1:00a.m., Fee $450

Address: Flat B, 1/F, Po Wah Bldg, 46-56 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai (MTR Admiralty Station, Exit F, Near Three Pacific Place)

Course Outline: Our Yoga Class for alleviating Hypertension is based on a series of stretches and reverse poses combined with slow deep breathing exercises to help patients improve the regulatory function of the central nervous system. It is geared to reducing the excitability of the sympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, induce a calm mood, a peaceful mind and a stabilizing of blood pressure. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the definition of hypertension, high blood pressure is a blood pressure that rests consistently at or above 140/90 mm Hg. In fact, hypertension is a state, not a disease, this condition occurs in naturally in heightened emotional states such as whilst experiencing happiness, anger, sadness or cold. Blood pressure will rise due to the influence of the sympathetic. Hypertension is classified as either primary or secondary. About 90–95% of cases are categorized as “primary hypertension,” which is high blood pressure with no obvious medical cause, but related with genetics, stress and obesity. The remaining 5–10% of cases (Secondary hypertension) is caused by other conditions such as endocrine disorders, nephritis and renal tumors. When the disease is cured, high blood pressure will return to normal. According to the Department of Health between 2003 and 2004 a Population Health Survey conducted found that among people aged 15+ 20.3% had a blood pressure of more than 140mmHg and 13.2% had a pressure of over 90mmHg. In Hong Kong an estimated 600,000 people have high blood pressure. Illnesses caused by hypertension include, strokes and heart disease which is a major threat to health and vitality. A study by the American Society of Hypertension showed that to lowering of blood pressure can be achieved simply by taking a deep breath. Researchers found that yoga and music can also be effective in eliminating high blood pressure.
