Slides 2-6 - One myth per slide (two-panel layout: crimson left / navy right)
| # | Myth | Clinical Truth Highlight |

| 1 | "Yoga is too strenuous" | Moderate-intensity; included in AHA-endorsed CR programs; Bruce et al. 2021 meta-analysis (PMID 34880621) |
| 2 | "Inversions are fine for everyone" | Raise MAP acutely; contraindicated in uncontrolled HTN (>160/100), glaucoma, HF, aortic aneurysm |
| 3 | "Hot yoga is okay if you're fit" | Heat-driven vasodilation + dehydration = thrombotic/ischemic risk; contraindicated post-MI < 6 months |
| 4 | "Breath retention improves heart health" | Valsalva-like response - drops CO, then preload surge; documented arrhythmia trigger (Fuster & Hurst's The Heart) |
| 5 | "Any yoga pose is safe" | ACC/AHA risk stratification required; no universal safe pose; medical clearance mandatory |
