Sit with your legs stretched out straight. Place a firm pillow or folded blanket behind you. Slowly lie back over the pillow so that it supports your upper back and opens your chest. Place the crown of your head on the ground by bending the cervical spine backwards gently. Place your palms on your thighs and let your elbows rest on the ground. Hold this position and count 5 with slow, deep breathing. To come out, release your hands first, then slowly lift your head using the support of your hands.
Benefits: Expands lung capacity and improves breathing significantly. The supported chest opening allows the lungs to expand fully. The pillow support makes this pose accessible even for beginners. Regular practice helps to strengthen the respiratory muscles and reduce asthma symptoms.
