Why is it called Asthma Mudra?
Asthma Mudra is traditionally practiced to support respiratory health and promote easier breathing.
How to Perform Asthma Mudra
- Sit comfortably on the floor, yoga mat, or a chair according to your convenience.
- Begin in a comfortable meditation pose, such as Padmasana, Sukhasana, or Vajrasana. You can also practice in a lying position (Shavasana).
- Close your eyes and gradually bring your breathing to a normal, slow, and deep rhythm.
- Place both hands comfortably near the thighs in a relaxed position.
- Bend both middle fingers toward each other and touch their fingernails. Keep the remaining fingers extended and relaxed.
- Close your eyes and focus your attention on your breathing.
- During the practice, breathe deeply from the abdomen and maintain a calm, steady breathing pattern.
