Yoga became one of alternative options that sports has many benefits, so more and more people take yoga classes. One benefit of yoga is to reduce allergies.

Every breathing, people inhale particles such as dust, germs, smoke, feathers and pollutants (all of which can cause allergies). The nose serves as a natural air filter, protecting the body from impurities.

Breathing is a core element of yoga. Breathe through your nose, as is done in traditional Ayurvedic and yoga can provide a calming effect on the body.

Among the self-healing techniques, breath work with unique because breathing is the only way to raise awareness, maintain and repair other body systems.

Heart rate, blood pressure, circulation, digestion, hormone secretion and mental, and emotional states can all be controlled, managed and cured through proper breathing practices.

As quoted from the SheKnows, Saturday (03/07/2010), following the practice of yoga breathing techniques that can reduce allergy:

- Inhale through your nose with a full capability
- Hold your breath
- Take a breath a little longer, and hold. Repeat once more. This exercise will improve the ability of the lungs and intercostal muscles (the muscles between the lungs that helps breathing).
- Hold for 10 count
- Slowly exhale through your nose, using your abdominal muscles to push a little air out.


For allergy sufferers, after doing this breathing technique, should make cleaning the nose (nasal rinsing). This is to reduce the fixed particles inhaled in the nose and sinuses, which can cause irritation or allergy.
