Stand straight with your feet slightly apart. Keep both palms on your navel area, right palm resting over the left palm. Now take a deep breath in through the nose, pushing your abdomen outward against your hands. Feel your belly expand like a balloon. Exhale slowly through the nose while pulling your abdomen inward. Focus on making the abdominal movement as large as possible. Do this 10 times slowly and mindfully.
Benefits: Promotes deep relaxation of the airways which is essential for asthma management. Abdominal breathing engages the diaphragm fully, allowing the lungs to fill to their maximum capacity. This technique can help to calm you during an asthma episode and reduce the severity of symptoms.
