Usually, yoga is not part of standard asthma
therapy, but yoga can provide relief from asthma
symptoms. Also, yoga helps a person suffering
from asthma to feel better. Yoga can help
increase breath and body awareness, slow the
respiratory rate and promote calmness and reduce
stress all of which are suitable for people
with asthma. Also, as yoga improves your
symptoms, there is generally no harm in doing so.

and changing lifestyle and external factors are
allergens and toxins. Although there are many
causes and types of asthma, working outside can
be challenging for asthma patients, but with the
help of some easy yoga poses, asthma can be
relieved. Let us know which yoga asana will be
beneficial for asthma patients.
Asanas and Pranayama to Overcome Asthma
2

• Asthma patients get relief naturally from yoga,
  but doing more strenuous physical exertion is
  challenging. On the other hand, yoga is a slow
  and easy process. This process also involves
  taking deep breaths. It is very beneficial for
  asthma patients.
• Here is a list of some basic breathing techniques
  and yoga asanas to help you overcome asthma more
  effectively.
• Sukhasana (Easy pose)
• Adho Mukha Svanasana
• Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose)
• Nadi Shodhana (Anulom Vilom)
• Asthma mudra
• However, there is no established link between
  yoga and asthma. But researchers found moderate
  evidence that yoga breathing, posture, and
  meditation affect asthma symptoms, help a person
  feel better, or can complement therapy. However,
  there is little evidence to suggest that yoga
  has any definite benefits.
• Sukhasana (Easy pose)
• Like breathing, Sukasana is also very beneficial
  for asthma patients. Since it focuses on
  inhaling and exhaling, it is effective in the
  treatment of asthma and also keeps the lungs
  healthy.
