India accounts for over 42% of global asthma-related deaths, according to the Global Asthma Network. Asthma narrows airways,
making breathing difficult. Yoga has been scientifically proven to alleviate symptoms and is an effective asthma management tool.
Key yoga poses include Sukhasana (Easy Pose) for calming the mind, Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) to expand the chest, Setu
Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) for opening the chest, and Ustrasana (Camel Pose) to improve lung function. Pranayama, such as the
Kapalbhati breath, can reduce stress and enhance lung function. However, yoga should complement medical treatment and advice
should be sought before starting a new exercise routine.
