Yoga for asthma

Learning to breathe, opening the chest, strengthening self-efficacy

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease in which the airways repeatedly constrict - triggered by allergens, stress, physical strain or infections. Many sufferers know the feeling: tightness in the chest, the need to "not be able to breathe properly" and a constant vigilance of their own breathing.

What many people don't know: Yoga can be an effective complement to medical treatment for asthma. Through targeted breath control, posture work and physical awareness, self-regulation of the breath can be improved and the anxiety-breathing pattern can be broken.

After surgery, many patients report feelings of tension, relieving posture, limited mobility, a changed abdominal sensation - and often also insecurity in dealing with their own midsection.

Yoga and endometriosis - creating space for a body plagued by pain

Depression is not a lack of motivation - but a regulatory disorder

Depression is not simply "sadness", "laziness" or "a merry-go-round of thoughts". It is a profound change in mood, drive, body perception and inner experience. It is often accompanied by sleep disorders, exhaustion, concentration problems, pain or inner emptiness.

The body is there - but it often feels strange, heavy, dull.
The head is awake - but trapped in itself.
The breath flows - but it is not felt.

Meditation can be an effective tool here - if it is used correctly.

Yoga during pregnancy - moving security for the body & nervous system

Pregnancy is a time of change - physical, emotional, hormonal, identity-forming. For many women, it marks the beginning of a new form of self-perception: more intense, more fragile, more mindful.

Yoga can be a stabilizing anchor during this time. Not because it is spectacular - but because it creates space. For breath. For movement. For relationship - with the growing body, with the unborn child, with your own inner self.
