The study included 80 patients with arrhythmia, which were divided into two groups - one group was engaged in yoga, while the other group was the control group. The participants practiced yoga for one hour once a week in the hospital with an experienced instructor. yoga program lasted 12 weeks and included a light movement, deep breathing and meditation.

The data showed that patients who practiced yoga, as a result had a better quality of life, reduced heart rate and lower blood pressure than those who did not practice yoga.
