Here are the best yoga techniques for asthma.
SAVASANA
Lie down and keep your arms a little to the side. Keep your palms facing upwards. Close your eyes and loosen your jaws. Focus on your breaths and relax your body. Feel each part of your body from feet upwards and relax them as you go up. Practice this for 5 - 10 minutes.
SUKHASANA
Cross your legs and sit comfortably. Keep your back straight. Place your right hand over your heart and your left hand on your belly. Draw your stomach in and your chest out for the prefect posture. Focus on your breathing for 5 to 10 minutes.
FORWARD BEND
Keep your legs hip width apart. Bend forwards. Fold your knees a bit if you feel a strain, else keep them straight. Fold your arms and hold the opposite elbows. Close your eyes. Keep the pose for 5 breaths.
BUTTERFLY
Sit comfortably and place the soles of the feet together. Try to put your knees to the ground as much as possible. Hold the ankles and bring as close to the body as possible. Take a deep breath and bring your body down as you exhale. Stay in the pose for 5 breaths.
BRIDGE POSE
Lay down comfortably. Place hands parallel to the body. Bring your knees up. Now lift your butt up along with your tailbone. Remember to keep your shoulder blades to the floor. Look up at the ceiling and expand your chest, visually expanding your lungs. Keep the pose for 10 counts.
