Kyle J. Norton 


People with  bronchial asthma participated in yoga class are likely to experience lower symptoms intensity and frequency, some researchers suggested.

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the study to evaluate a one month in-patient naturopathy and yoga programme effects for patients with asthma with retrospective data of 159 bronchial asthma patients, yoga participants showed a significant increase in the Forced Vital Capacity and Forced Expiratory Volume from the date of admission up to 6th month post Bonferroni correction, observed by  the paired sample t test results.

In compared to the beginning of the invention, yoga group also expressed significantly increase from admission till the date of discharge according to the Maximum voluntary ventilation assay

 Furthermore, the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate also significantly increased from admission till the 36th month of follow-up, observed through post Bonferroni correction.

These illustrations demonstrated a strong effect of yoga in reduced over all symptoms through improving the physical lung function. Because of these traumatic results, Dr. Rao YC,, the led authors author suggested that yoga in combined with naturopathy may be considered as a secondary management of bronchial asthma.

In deed, yoga breathing and yoga posts such as Bridge, Cobra, Wheel, and Upward-Facing Dog open and stretch the chest, stimulated the blood circulation to the lung area to improve lung function and strengthened the lung muscles, thus increasing lung diffusion capacity.

Further more, yoga breath and retention with "inhale air into the abdomen and feel it expand into the rib cage,  into the chest and collar bone then exhale from the chest, rib cage, and lastly from the abdomen slowly", according to some yogic instructors can increase oxygen absorption and maximize CO2 expelling to prevent blocking of space for air circulation, thus cultivating greater lung capacity in absorption of prana in precitipation of maximized metabolic function of lung cells and reduced symptoms of intensity in patients with bronchial asthma.

 Interestingly, German scientists in following up to the above study of long term effect of yoga  breathing exercises and yoga intervention in patients with bronchial asthma also found that
yoga interventions demonstrated a significant amelioration of the psychological symptoms such as depression and mood disorder and induced a significant improvement of lung function parameters, observed by the Forced expiatory volume (FEV) assay.

According to the review published in the March, 2013 issue of the “Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.” the Yoga postures (asanas) and breathing (pranayama) showed to improve lung capacity in healthy adults averaging 90 minutes per day over a 10-week period in  yoga participation.

In the concerns of yoga class may have any effect in enhanced quality of life in related to mental state of patients with bronchial asthma, researchers conducted a randomized trial with 120 non-smoking male and female patients of asthma in the age group of 17-50 years randomly assigned into two groups i.e. Group A (Yoga group, with patients practiced yoga breathing exercises for 8 weeks) and Group B (control group), after assessing asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) and diary record returned from patients, and indicated that yoga group expressed a statistically and gradually significant improvement in "symptoms", "activities" and "environmental" domains of AQLQ during  the periods, specially in  reduction in daily number and severity of attacks in compared to control.

The finding evidences showed that yoga breathing exercises used adjunctively with standard pharmacological treatment significantly improved quality of life and decreased symptoms frequency in patients with bronchial asthma.
