Peter Martinez on 14 Sep 16By Dr. Paul Jerard, E-RYT 500 How important is Yoga for children with asthma? Nearly 9 million children in the United States suffer from asthma, and studies have shown that Yoga can make it easier for them to cope with the illness. Asthma is a chronic condition that triggers inflammation in the airways, causing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, difficulty with breathing, and tightness in the chest. Due to the fact that children have smaller airways than adults, their asthma attacks are often more serious.
