1. How does the practice of Anulom Vilom influence cardiovascular variables and stress levels in individuals with hypertension compared to Progressive Muscle Relaxation techniques? 2. What are the effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation techniques on the functional capacity of hypertensive individuals, and how do these effects compare to those observed with Anulom Vilom practice?
