In the "Quit Smoking" lesson series, we help those who want to get rid of the harmful habit by replacing it with a more beneficial one.
Dynamic elements performed standing, in support, and lying on the stomach, intensify breathing. This changes the habitual breathing stereotype of a smoker and improves the breathing pattern. Inhalation becomes deeper.
The use of complex poses that require tension during execution allows the body to produce beta-endorphins, which bring pleasure during and after asanas practice. Bends and other poses that open the chest increase the volume of inhaled air, remove compression of the chest area, which is often observed in smokers.
Practice regularly, and the exercises will help you replace the harmful habit with a useful one.
