BEHAVIORAL

Pranayama

Pranayama, one of the practices of yoga, is a Sanskrit word consisting of a combination of two words, a technique of rhythmic, controlled breathing. So "prana" means life breath/life energy and "ayama" means expansion/regulation/control. Pranayama helps to improve lung capacity, heart and respiratory functions, nervous and hormonal systems, as well as mental activity.

BEHAVIORAL

diaphragm breathing exercise

Diaphragmatic breathing is also known as deep breathing or slow abdominal breathing. This breathing exercise uses the diaphragm muscle. The diaphragm is the muscle under the lungs that supports the lungs in up and down breathing.
