  your breathing and causes continuous sneezing,
  whooping, and coughing. Asthma has no cure.
  Attacks could trigger anywhere and anytime.
• One of the common triggers for asthma is
  exercise. Many asthma patients find it difficult
  to breathe during fast paced workouts. While
  exercise is a trigger, it is also important for
  asthma patients to concentrate on their fitness.
• Doctors recommend exercising in a monitored
  environment and under proper guidance. Regular
  exercise helps to improve the functioning of the
  lungs, reduces breathing difficulties, and
  enhances life.
• Patients suffering from asthma should consult
  their doctor and find exercises which do not
  flare the Sign and Symptoms of Asthma.
• Generally, people breathe through their nose
  during which the air is filtered before it goes
  into the lungs. While exercising, people breathe
  through their mouths. The air is not filtered,
  and chances of getting affected to asthma
  triggers increase. People with asthma have a
  problem with rigorous exercising as it may flare
  their Asthma Attack Symptoms. Pranayam,
  Shavasana, Sukhasana are some yoga positions
  which help in improving breathing and
  strengthening lung muscles. Pranayam is a
  breathing technique which helps you to control
  your breathing and handle symptoms like sneezing,
  whooping and coughing.
