Burning of crackers and stubble during Diwali puts us at serious risk of developing serious respiratory problems. Our lungs are most affected by the toxic pollutants present in the air. These pollutants irritate the airways and cause symptoms such as wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, among other risks of illness.
30 minutes of yoga practice can help open blocked airways due to emphysema or bronchitis, which are associated with COPD (chronic inflammatory lung disease). Yoga can also improve the function of air circulation. Even in cases of advanced COPD, simple yoga techniques can come to your rescue.
Ustrasana (camel pose)
- Lie down on your knees on a yoga mat and place your hands on your hips.
- Simultaneously, breathe in, arch your back and slide your palms from the hips to the top of your feet until the arms are straight.
- Do not strain your neck, keep it in a neutral position.
- Stay in this posture for a few seconds.
- Now while exhaling, slowly return to the starting position. As you straighten, bring your hands back over your hips.
Chakrasana (Wheel Pose)
- Lie on your back on a yoga mat.
- Bending your knees, bring your feet near the hips. Keep your feet firmly on the floor.
- Bend your arms at the elbows, your palms should be facing the sky. Roll your arms over the shoulders and place the palms on the floor next to your head.
- Now breathe in and apply pressure on your palms and feet. Lift your entire body and form an arch.
- Slowly let your head fall backwards.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
- Lie on your stomach, your hands should be under your shoulders.
- Keep your feet together, toes on the ground.
- Inhale and hold the breath. Slowly raise your head, shoulders and torso to a 30-degree angle.
- Your navel should be on the floor, with shoulders wide and head raised slightly.
- There will be pressure on your toes – this activates the Sun (right) and Moon (left) channels that are connected to the lower back.
