Control of the breath is considered to be the key to a good yoga practice so it seems reasonable that yoga might be beneficial to someone with asthma. While perusing Yogatic.com I found this video:
Of course, practicing yoga won’t cure asthma and it won’t eliminate the need for medications and inhalers but it may help one in living with asthma. A daily practice of the poses and breathing techniques described in the video will help to
- Relax one’s breathing and open the chest and the lungs
- Encourage short inhales and long exhales
- feel more relaxed and more open
The sequence of poses in the video:
- Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
- Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog)
- Plank Pose
- Makarasana (Crocodile Pose)
- Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
- Balasana (Child’s Pose)
- Savasaana (Corpse Pose)
