How To Reduce Your Asthma With Yoga
from: Norman HurstYoga has been a revelation for many people. They have found that
they can improve the quality of their life with the power of
yoga. Yoga combines both physical and mental activities, so it
engages your whole body rather than just part of it. Some of the
benefits of yoga include better breathing, easier relaxation and
relief from the symptoms of asthma.
The reason that yoga can help with your asthma is that by using
yoga, you will get your body back to a more natural state. Both
your body and your mind will be less stressed.
Relaxation and deep breathing were made for each other. Both of
them help you to calm down, clear your mind and re-energize your
body. By spending a few minutes taking slow, controlled breaths
and paying attention to your breathing rather than taking it for
granted, you will notice that your breathing automatically
becomes calmer. Rather than it's "normal", hyper-active state.
In turn, this will bring more energy into your body and calm you
down.
Try out this simple breathing relaxation exercise. Read the
instructions through a couple of times and then start.
1. Sit down, making sure that your posture is good and your
spine is straight as possible.
Place your feet flat on the floor and check that your knees are
directly over your feet. Place your hands on top of your legs.
2. Gently close your eyes.
3. Concentrate your thoughts on your ribs and your lungs. Inhale
slowly and deeply. Notice your lungs filling up and your ribs
expanding outwards and upwards. Then slowly exhale, again
noticing your lungs slowly releasing the air you've just
breathed in and your ribs gradually going back in and down.
4. Repeat this routine once a day for up to 3 minutes when you
first start out. Over the coming days, gradually increase up to
5 and then 10 minutes throughout the day as necessary.
Yoga breathing exercises have been shown to help sufferers of
mild asthma. You may still need your medication and any other
health devices, although you should notice that you need them
less and less as you practice these techniques.
