Yes, with passive restorative props—never strenuous movement. During an acute bronchospasm, active breathing exercises cause further alveolar hyperinflation and airway panic. At Nirmala Yoga, Dr. Akhilesh Kumar Singh uses inclined bolsters, wooden backbenders, and wall ropes to mechanically elevate the sternum and open the lateral ribcage. This immediately reduces diaphragmatic strain, elongates the exhalation phase without muscular effort, and terminates acute wheezing safely.
🎯 Physiological Target
Bronchial smooth muscle spasm release & passive alveolar deflation
⚡ Temporal Gain
Immediate wheeze reduction in 15–20 mins; PEF stabilization in 3–4 sessions
