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. 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. 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). Here are some specific yoga poses and breathing exercises that can help to improve lung capacity: Yoga poses: Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose) Ustrasana (Camel Pose) Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) Balasana (Child's Pose) Breathing exercises: Pranayama Kapalabhati Bhastrika Anuloma Viloma (Alternate Nostril Breathing) Kumbhaka read less

Gentle, breathing-based exercises, such as tai chi or yoga, can not only improve lung health and capacity, but can also help you cope with the stress, anxiety and depression that unfortunately sometimes accompanies lung disease.
