Title: Yoga breathing exercises
Post by Dave on May 25th, 2006, 8:59pm
I have gotten some benefit from kundalini yoga breathing exercises.

In particular, there is an exercise called "breath of fire" which allegedly helps bring your body rhythms into equillibrium (whatever the F&%K that means).

In reality, I've found it greatly increases breath capacity and clears your head up.

I can't claim to have a scientific study that shows it works, but it's been a part of my regimen that's been keeping my clusters at bay.

I can recommend a video if anyone is interested.

Dave,

I have also had very limited success with yoga and yoga meditation/breathing. Hold a Clustermasx attached to an E-Tank of O2 to your face and that type of breathing thing really pays off.
