Yoga can help manage asthma through practices that target different levels or kosas of the body. The asanas, pranayamas, and kriyas prescribed aim to cleanse and open the lungs, build strength and stamina, and reduce stress. A key practice is yoga chair breathing, a 30-minute routine of relaxation, breathing, and movement techniques done while seated in a chair for acute asthma episodes. Long-term, an integrated yoga module including specific asanas, pranayamas, and meditation can help strengthen the respiratory system and reduce dependency on medication.
