Has anyone tried Pranayama breathing?

is there anyone that has experimented with this yoga exercise. if so what were the results ? i have indeed read all/lots of the studies with mixed results. would appreciate your personal results. thanx for any insights.

  1. Hi Jarity and thanks for your post. It appears that Pranayama breathing is a yoga-based type of breathing that focuses on the respiratory cycle. While I'm hopeful others in the community will share whatever personal experiences they have with this technique, I thought you might find it helpful to look over this article on breathing strategies: https://copd.net/living-with-copd/breathing-strategies

    1. thanx a lot for the link. i have quite a bit of literature and movies on the classical copd breathing techniques and was hoping to expand. still....it helps to revue every thing i THINK i know. this dis...ease!! always learning.

  2. Hi Jarity - glad you found the link to be helpful. No matter how much we know about the disease we can (all) always learn more. The more we know, the better we understand and more effective we can be managing it.
    All the best,
