#58 Breath Exercises that may help Covid patients (7min)

2 simple exercises that may help. I received a request from a friend for breath exercises to help a friend of hers that was suffering from Covid. I am always mindful that yoga exercises need to supplement professional medical treatment, so this breath work is intended to supplement such treatment.  He messaged her afterwards explaining how the exercises helped him during his illness and with his recovery. His encouraging words inspired me to create this podcast that may help others:- "Hi, I received and jumped straight in. I really appreciate the simplicity first of all. It was easy to follow and felt progress being made. We will be putting this to daily use. I'm Gonna be a champion. So been doing the breathing exercises coupled with some steaming. The results have been amazing!!!!  Thank you again, other than the obvious benefit, the mental strength gained is huge." Conscious breath-work can help strengthen the diaphragm and other muscles that support breathing. It can assist with respiration through promotion of movement of air in and out of the lungs. The breath-work described is scientifically known to promote the functioning of the vagus nerve, which medically is known to promote well-being. These 2 exercises may help make breathing easier, more efficient and relaxed no matter what your current situation is.  If you know someone who may possibly benefit from these exercises, please feel free to share this with them. Always ensure that a professional doctor is consulted first.  Namaste.
