Maria	Great article, thanks for the tips It's a help to know how to manage this awfull inconsistent breathing which I struggle everyday with. I do yoga and thanks to yoga I became aware of my bad habit of breathing. I am trying to work on it. I will try these excercises.
Su'ad	Thank you for this. It really help me to understand some things about my asthma.
Anna Teague	Wonderful article, am going to put this into practice, as an asthmatic with bronchiecstasis, anything that I can do without resorting to extra medication works. My problem with the Buteyko method, did he not slag off yoga breathing. I know, from my medical records, that my lung capacity has improved with pranayama, so I'd have to disagree. Yoga also encourages breathing in and out through the nose. I will read his book again though, this irritated me the last time!Excellent article.
