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)
