  • Title: Definition of a Yoga Breathing (Pranayama) Protocol That Improves Lung Function.
    Author: Kupershmidt S, Barnable T.
    Journal: Holist Nurs Pract; 2019; 33(4):197-203. PubMed ID: 31192831.
    Abstract:
    This study tests the hypothesis that yoga breathing (pranayama) improves lung function in healthy volunteers during a 6-week protocol. A randomized controlled pilot study demonstrated an improvement in peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume. The easy-to-learn approach can be translated to the inpatient and outpatient settings.
