Yogic Breathing helps improve lung capacity
Most people’s breathing is shallow, utilizing less than 1/3 of their lung capacity. Proper yogic breathing helps to use more of the lung capacity; deep inhalation helps energize the body, and adequate exhalation removes toxins from the body.
Breathing techniques, Pranayama (Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom, in particular) have anti-aging properties, promote longevity, and helps with Pran Tattva. If you make yoga your life partner, you can take control of various diseases rooted in today’s lifestyles.
While seated Slouching is bad, for physical and emotional health. Poor posture can have ill effects that radiate throughout the body, causing back/neck pain, muscle fatigue, breathing limitations, arthritic joints, digestive problems, and mood disturbances. This can result in undue fatigue/discomfort that can outlast the strain that caused them. While using a computer or watching a movie, sit up straight with head aligned directly over the shoulders and hips, so eyes are on the screen.

Recent research studies unravel yoga’s benefits in improved mood states/quality of life, symptom/stress reduction, and enhancing host factors that affect survival in cancer patients.
