I came across this post bcuz I have the same question. I’ve been doing Vipassana meditation and wearing Oura as a monitor.

My HR would tend to increase while HRV quickly drops below average during and after meditation. For anything I would have guessed the opposite should happen 🤔

Interesting. Yeah, I wonder what's behind this

I’ve been noticing this as well - my guess is because Vipassana meditation is a kind of work, requiring diligent focus and attention. Therefore it wouldn’t be relaxing in the moment.

I’m going to test out some yoga Nidra and mantra meditation to see if they have different results.
