Yoga and Other
Exercises that Help
with Breathing
By Jamie Lober, Staff Writer
Everyone should have at least one
activity that promotes good breathing. “All aspects of yoga, including
breath, help me and I hope my students to become calmer, stronger
and perhaps more flexible individuals,” says Susan Pope, yoga instructor at Lexington’s Proof Fitness.
Yoga can also create inner peace.
Pope notes, “One of the big benefits
of yoga is that it gives everybody
an opportunity that may be the
only opportunity in their day to get
into a room, focus on their breath
and just focus on themselves for
45 minutes. All you have to think
about is how you feel and there is
no competitiveness, so at the end of
the practice hopefully you will feel
less stressed because of the work
that you did.”
