Asthma Answers

Following an emergency visit to an intensive care unit, yoga teacher Barbara Benagh pledged to beat her asthma. After extensive research, she discovered the key to overcoming asthma is retraining the breath.

By Barbara Benagh

Although each asthmatic has his or her unique set of circumstances, I hope my story will inspire others to have hope, take active steps to change their respiration, and prevail in finding their own way to breathe free.

Barbara Benagh has practiced yoga for 27 years and taught since 1974. Trained in the Iyengar style and influenced by Angela Farmer, she now offers her own unique approach in workshops worldwide and at her home base, The Yoga Studio, in Boston, Massachusetts.

sam	Thanks so much .. it helped me understand the condition of asthma very well.. It will help me teach my asthma patients some practices mentioned.
Jenny G	I found this an extremely helpful article which concurs with my own experience. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience here.
ChrisKrofton	I wonder what the triggers are that wake up asthmatics at night. In Barbara's words ... The urgency to breathe that woke you... I"m asking in the context of avoiding it. Can more fresh air into the bedroom help? Stress? Why the wakeup is not every night but at certain circumstances? I know that children that wake up and take medication often are unable to fall asleep for hours.
