Illustration about effects of yoga breathing (pranayama) and regular yoga practice on lung capacity and respiratory diseases.

"Yoga breathing (pranayama) and regular yoga practice can improve lung health and overall respiratory function. Deep breathing exercises increase lung capacity, strengthen respiratory muscles, and improve oxygen exchange. They can also help clear mucus, reduce stress-related shallow breathing, and improve conditions like asthma or chronic bronchitis. Over time, yoga can enhance lung efficiency and overall endurance."
