One can survive for days without food and water, but breath is central to life. Therefore, not being able to breathe efficiently can be debilitating. The number of asthmatics has doubled over the years due to a combination of factors such as stress, poor diet and pollution making the respiratory system hypersensitive. The practice of yoga will not only improve your overall health, but will help you deal with asthma.

In this video, Hansaji Jayadeva Yogendra talks about a yoga asana that will open up the chest and improve the functioning of the lungs.

Hansaji Jayadeva Yogendra is the Director of The Yoga Institute, President of The International Board of Yoga and Vice President of the Indian Yoga Association.
