CORE YOGA REHAB strongly enjoys assisting clients with conditions such as asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD, and in supporting recovery from infections like long covid and pneumonia.

Sophie has bronchiectasis and understands the challenge of managing a chronic lung condition.

She will advise on daily practices that can help make life easier (a morning practice is especially important for those with breathing issues).

Due to the infection risk, gyms and yoga studios can be problematic for sufferers of chronic lung conditions. When you have a flare, studios are inappropriate and you should recover at home. So it is important for those in breathing rehab to have their own home practice. (Of course, no one with a cold should be in a gym or yoga class!)

Yoga and pranayama can help with clearing and draining mucus, opening your chest and developing the correct breathing muscles. Meditation can ease the mental distress that goes with breathing issues. Vitally importantly, CORE YOGA REHAB is designed to rehabilitate stressed cores and pelvic floors. The severe coughing that often goes with lung conditions can lead to core issues like incontinence., so a longterm CORE YOGA REHAB practice is essential.

Some breathing conditions are also affected by emotional states. Asthma, for example, tends to be suffered by more sensitive people who suppress their emotions. Yoga is a beautiful way to deal with your emotions.

CORE YOGA REHAB aims, without judgement, to help smokers and vapers quit for good.
