Yoga For Lungs

Breathing is the force on which our lives depend: You can go for weeks without food, days without water, but only a few minutes without breathing. To keep your lungs healthy and your oxygen intake high, yoga exercises called asanas are recommended. They move the spine and lengthen and stretch the surrounding muscles help to keep the respiratory muscles strong and flexible, thereby increasing lung capacity and improved breathing.
