Yoga to Improve Lung Capacity

Sudeepta Shanbhag will lead us through a 40 min practice which will help improve lung capacity. There will be time for QnA after the practice. Starting with the body we will learn how to improve strength and flexibility in the shoulders, chest and diaphragm, then we will learn breathwork techniques and end with a visualization practice of the anahata chakra. This practice is great whether you are trying to maintain/improve your physical health or recovering from COVID or a respiratory issue or have asthma. Please have a yoga mat and a long strap or belt atleast 4 ft long for the practice.
