2. Shoulder Stand: All limbs Stand. (Sarvangasana)

Both to be learnt from an expert. Perform very gently, without jerks, to reach the final position.

3. Simple non-denominational meditation, which cosists of sitting in a comfortable, relaxed posture and just watching the breath as it goes in and out without controlling it.
By itself it will slow down in a couple of days. Seven to eight minutes of this twice a day brings down BP.
First of all, start with the poses you shouldn't do. Don't do poses which arch the back -- cobra, back bends, etc. These will often stimulate the kidneys and adrenalin -- contraindicated for high blood pressure.

The folding or calming poses will do the opposite. Forward bends - wide legged or single legged will calm all of you down -- including blood pressure.
