Several studies have shown that yoga can be a powerful therapy in reducing the frequency and intensity of asthma attacks. Yoga is all about breathing and meditation. Likewise, it is also good for your lu ngs as it increases airflow, air capacity, stamina and efficiency.
Practicing different pranayama techniques can be beneficial to your health, especially if you have asthma. Poses such as back bending and inverted postures can help you.
Back bending postures help open the chest, which improves both lung and heart functioning while inverted postures, on the other hand, can help drain excess mucus from the lungs and balance the immune system.

A new research from the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation found out that yoga can be an innovative way to reduce eyestrain for people who work at computers. This study, which was published in He ad & Face Medicine, said that computer workers who practiced yoga for 60 days reported experiencing improved visual comfort and reduced "dry eye". Likewise, previous research also showed the effectiveness of yoga in reducing eye strain among people with progressive nearsightedness.
The said study used employees of a local software development company to determine whether yoga could assist professional computer users. Members of the yoga group practiced yoga for one hour per day, five days per week. It included exercises which include shifting the eyes in eight directions while moving an extended thumb to direct the gaze and looking at a flame at eye level without blinking, while focusing and defocusing the eyes.
