Yoga is the ancient, holistic science of wellbeing, and its asanas are designed to maintain a strong and healthy respiratory system since having healthy lungs improves your ability to breathe and absorb oxygen. Having healthy lungs is essential for preventing lung illnesses, boosting immunity, and preserving peak physical performance.
5 simple asanas, carefully focusing on your breathing:
1. Hastha Uttanasana
Take a straight stance to begin (Samasthithi). As you raise your arms, make sure your palms are pointing in the same direction. Keep your head nestled in between your arms and gently budge back. Your knees should stay straight, and your eyes should be open.
2. Vajrasana – Thunderbolt pose
Keep your back straight and your arms at your sides. Gently bowed out on your mat. Place your pelvis on your heels and extend your toes. At this point, your thighs need to rub up against your calf muscles. Ensure that your heels are spaced apart somewhat. Put your hands on your knees with the palms facing up. With your back straight, cast your gaze forward.
3. Paschimottanasana – Seated forward bend
Begin in Dandasana with your legs extended in front of you. As you raise your arms in the air, maintain a straight back. Exhale and empty your stomach as you lean forward at the hips and lay your upper body on your lower body. Put your fingertips on your big toes while lowering your arms. Put your nose as close to your knees as you can.
4. Ustrasana – Camel Pose
As you kneel and sit, place your hands on your hips. As you arch your back, your palms should be on your feet. Keep your neck in a neutral position. For a few breaths, maintain this posture. Exhale, then reposition yourself slowly from where you were. As you stand tall, pull your hands back and rest them on your hips.
5. Balasana – Child’s Pose
Inhale as you kneel while standing on your heels and raise your arms above your head. Exhale as you bend your upper body forward. Put your forehead on the ground while supporting your pelvis on your heels.
