@suethenanny Have you tried this regimen? If so, how long have you used it, and what benefits did you see from it?
I ask because I use a few yoga poses to help move mucus during airway clearance when it is reluctant to come out. But daily Yoga practice and my ADHD are not a good fit - I have tried for many years, and I don't finish my session feeling relaxed or energized.

But if it can help me breathe better for longer, I might be persuaded to try again.

Hi Sue, I only discovered this YouTube yesterday while I was searching how to increase oxygen intake at night while I'm sleeping as mine drops quite low according to my Garmin Vivomove. I keep being told that I have to belly breathe but that's not always practical and I like that this lady says you should practice the three ways of breathing as each have their benefits. I also quite like the quick breathing through the nose. As for the poses, I've got osteoporosis so I'm not too keen to try anything too drastic, and I don't think I've got the patience for most things in Yoga. I've also watched her sinus Yoga YouTube.
YouTube and podcasts are brilliant while you're nebulising!

Hi Sue,
I have bronchiectasis, MAC, hypoxemia and ADHD. I love yoga, I don't have trouble focusing if it's the stretch kind of yoga. It feels wonderful to feel my muscles relax, I don't like the fast paced yoga plus I have week wrists so I have to improvise. I'm more interested in the MIND/BODY connection was I'm struggling with all the meds and treatments. My ADHD is in full swing, it almost hurts. I'm going to give a try, can't hurt. Thanks for the post.
