Can yoga improve my lung capacity?

Yes, yoga can improve your lung capacity. Yoga poses, or asanas, can help to strengthen the respiratory muscles and increase the expansion of the chest wall, allowing the lungs to hold more air. Yoga breathing exercises, or pranayama, can also help to improve lung function by teaching you how to breathe more deeply and efficiently. Yes, yoga can improve your lung capacity.

A number of studies have shown that yoga can improve lung capacity in both healthy people and people with chronic respiratory conditions. For example, one study found that 12 weeks of yoga practice improved lung capacity and exercise tolerance in people with asthma. Another study found that yoga improved lung function in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
