Mount Sinai Heart staff put their heart-healthy advice into action on Saturday, May 4, by taking part in the Sixth Annual 5k Run for Fun & Yoga. About 80 people, including family and friends, ran twice around the Central Park Reservoir, then participated in a 45-minute yoga session on the East Meadow Lawn.
The event was led by Annapoorna S. Kini, MD, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at The Mount Sinai Hospital, and the Zena and Michael A. Wiener Professor of Medicine.
“There is compelling evidence that heart health can be improved by mindful activities, like yoga, combined with cardiovascular exercise,” Dr. Kini says. “And I encourage my team to practice what we preach.”
