    When to avoid this exercise

  • The breathing lotus exercise, also known as the lotus breath or pranayama, is a powerful breathing technique that can have many benefits for the mind and body. However, there are certain situations where it is best to avoid this exercise. Firstly, if you have any respiratory issues such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is important to consult with a doctor before attempting this exercise. The deep and rapid breathing involved in the breathing lotus exercise can potentially worsen these conditions. Additionally, if you are pregnant or have any heart conditions, it is best to avoid this exercise as it can put strain on the body and may not be suitable for your current physical state. Furthermore, if you are feeling light-headed or dizzy, it is important to stop the exercise and take a break. This exercise can cause hyperventilation if not done properly, which can lead to dizziness and fainting. Lastly, if you are feeling emotionally unstable or have a history of panic attacks, it is best to avoid this exercise as it can be intense and may trigger these symptoms. In summary, it is important to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional before attempting the breathing lotus exercise to ensure it is safe for you.
