Upper respiratory tract
Nose – nostril
nasal septum
nasopharynx
Paranasal sinuses
Pharynx – common passage for food and air
epiglottis
Larynx – sound box
Function of upper respiratory tract
Filtering & protection of lower respiratory tract
Humidification
Maintaining the temperature of inhaled air
Producing sound (layrnx)
Resonance to sand (paranasal sinuses)
Conduction of air from atmosphere to lower respiratory tract.
Lower respiratory tract
Trachea – wind pipe 12cm length C shaped
cartilages
Bronchi
Bronchioles
alveoli
Functions of lower respiratory tract
Conduction of air – from upper respiratory tract
to alveoli
Oxygenation of blood
Elimination of toxins carbondioxide
Muscle of respiration
Muscles of inspiration
Diaphragm – 75%
External intercostals – 25%
Muscles of expiration
Passive process
Control of Breathing
Assessment of respiratory function
Peak Flow Meter
Spirometry
Are we breathing right ?
Breathing is the first thing we do when we are born and last thing we do when we die
Dr. Andrew Weil
“ If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breath correctly”
Shallow chest breathing
– we breath using our chest which expands only upper
and middle part of the lungs
- muscle become tense
- respiratory rate increases
Belly breathing (diaphragm breathing) - slow and deep - expansion of lower lung where oxygen
exchange is better - heart rate reduces - blood pressure reduces - muscle relax - stress and anxiety reduces - mind calms
The Healing Power of Christ,
the Magnetism of Mohammed,
the Miraculous Power of Moses,
the Charm of Krishna, and
the inspiration of the Buddha
all these were attained by
breath
Four aspects of breath
1) Exhalation
2) Inhalation
3) Transition between exhalation and inhalation
4) Transition between inhalation and exhalation
(Energy Intake – Energy Expenditure)
Energy Reservoir

Ashtang Yoga & Respiratory System
yoga
The word yoga is originated from the Sanskrit word ‘Yuj’ which means ‘to integrate’ ‘to unite’It is about integrating your energy's to create a cohesive unit to bring about a balance in all dimensions of your life and sustaining that state with right attitudes and perceptions about yourself and your life
yoga
Yoga is NOT about renunciation and escaping your responsibilities

Breathing Techniques
Chair breathingPerson is supposed to pull the
chair and relax his hand and side of the face on the chair. Due to this position spine gets convex arch and that ultimately relaxes the chest and respiratory muscles. After this, while moving backward, one can inhale as deeply and slowly as possible and exhale while moving forward.
Hand Stretch Breathing:
In standing position one has to coordinate breathing with hand movements. Move the arms backwards and much as possible while inhaling fully and bring the arms back to forward position while exhaling fully.
Tiger Breathing After taking position of Marjarasana,
bend ahead inwards flexing spine up (spine convex) while exhaling slowly through the nose. Slowly arch the spine down (spine concave) while inhaling fully also raise the head up as you inhales slowly.
Patients with chronic respiratory disability can learn and practice these techniques not only in stable state but also during exacerbation or when hospitalized. Even patients with severe disability requiring home oxygen therapy can be taught to practice some of these techniques.
Asanas
In the final position the person has to focus his mind on the process of breathing,
taking slow deep breaths allowing efficient expansion of different parts of the
lungs and he should be focused and be aware of his body, breath, and mind.
Thus in the ideal position of an asana the body should be steady and comfortable,
breath should be rhythmic, slow and deep, mind should be stable and clam and
there is integration and awareness of body, breath, mind and the infinite
existence.
With regular practice the patient gets into the habit of remaining aware of his
breathing, his actions, and his thoughts through out the day. This can be one of the
most efficient and effective energy conservation training.
This is the beauty of the technology of yoga ‘minimum energy input to get
maximum output at multiple levels’.
Pranayama
Balancing breathing techniques Anuloma – Viloma - Pranayam
Getting balanced & centered – mental & subtle energies in the body get out of alignment and cause disturbances in the body and mind
Anuloma – Viloma balances flow of energy in Ida and Pingala
Balancing the autonomic nervous system
Smooth transition between Idu & Pingala thought day
Preparing for mediation and inner journey

Recommendation for incorporating yoga in PR programme Asanas , Pranayam ,and Meditation can be incorporated in the
sessions conducted at Pulmonary Rehabilitation Centre in following sequence
- Breathing practices & warm up exercises- 5 to 6 asanas after initial warm up- Aerobic and strengthening exercise- Pranayam for 5 to 10 minutes- Session should end with meditation for 10 to 15 minutes.- On the remaining days of the week 30 to 40 minutes of yoga &
