Cow-cat pose

Alternating between the cow pose (inhale, arch your back, lift your head) and the cat pose (exhale, round your back, lower your head) enhances spinal flexibility and boosts blood flow to the lungs. Inhaling expands the chest, allowing for deeper breaths, while exhaling expels stale air.

Downward-facing dog pose

This pose increases circulation throughout the body, stretches the spine, hamstrings, and calves, and expands the chest. Practice deep breathing in this pose to enhance respiratory capacity.

Bridge pose

This pose effectively increases blood flow to the lungs. By lifting the hips and opening the chest, you create space for the lungs to expand more fully. It also strengthens the back and core muscles, which are essential for maintaining proper posture.

Cobra pose

Lie on your stomach and lift your chest, stretching your body. This pose opens the chest area, energizing the respiratory system. Focus on deep breaths and feel your lungs expand, improving respiratory function.

Seated forward bend pose

This pose effectively stretches the spine and calms the mind. Bending forward promotes blood flow to the lungs and reduces stress. While holding this pose, concentrate on slow, deep breaths.
