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

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,
