The Yoga Therapy Toolbox #10: Don't tell them to breathe!

Montserrat G. Mukherjee September 14, 2025

Here is an unusual one, but quite vital for some specific clients who we can warmly call “non-breathers”.

In this video I share with you the curious request from one of my students, and how this has become a really valuable Yoga Therapy Tool applicable to many of my clients, including those affected by:

  • Asthma

  • COPD

  • Covid and Long-Covid

  • Pneumonia

  • Lung cancer

  • Anyone triggered by the breath and attention to the breath.

 

About the Yoga Therapy Toolbox

The Yoga Therapy Toolbox is a collection of practical, experience-led tools drawn from decades of clinical yoga therapy practice and refined through real-world use with a wide range of clients and health conditions. Alongside clear, usable applications, we share insight into where these tools come from and why they work, so they can be used immediately or returned to when needed. New Toolbox posts are published regularly – subscribe to receive email reminders whenever a new tool is added, so you never miss one.
