YOGA FOR ASTHMA
Yoga for asthma is a therapeutic approach used to alleviate symptoms associated with asthma. Relaxation techniques are used to enhance respiratory function and reduce the frequency and intensity of asthma attacks. Asanas in yoga for asthma often focus on improving posture, expanding the chest, and promoting overall lung capacity.
Pranayama techniques, such as diaphragmatic breathing and alternate nostril breathing, aim to strengthen respiratory muscles and enhance breath control. Mindfulness and relaxation practices are incorporated to alleviate stress, which can be a trigger for asthma episodes.
Regular practice of yoga for asthma has been shown to improve lung function, reduce the need for medication, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals with asthma. This holistic approach empowers individuals to actively participate in managing their respiratory health and can be a valuable complementary therapy alongside conventional asthma treatments.
