Products for HRV Yoga Practice

HRV Yoga uses chest strap-style heart rate monitors to track your heart rate, heart rate variability, and detailed HRV features. Depending on your particular HRV Yoga class, the HRV Yoga teacher may be taking multiple data points before, during or after your yoga class.

Important: Check with your HRV Yoga teacher to determine the specific equipment you will need for your HRV Yoga practice.
Heart Rate Monitors

The Polar H7 models uses Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Smart)* technology to transmit ECG-accurate heart rate readings. The signals from your heart rate strap can be transmitted automatically via Bluetooth technology without disturbing your practice. Nothing to fumble with! Put them on and start your readings. They are worn under your clothes, next to the skin.

About Sizing: To determine the proper size, measure just under the breast area. The Medium-XXL straps adjust from 25″ to 37″. Straps are also available in size small with a somewhat smaller range of adjustment.

The Polar H6 Heart Rate Monitor is also Bluetooth enabled and is slightly less expensive than the Polar H7. Both work with smart phones and will work for HRV Yoga class. The H7 is compatible with a greater variety of workout devices that may be of interest to practitioners of other forms of fitness and tracking.
