I also have allergy/exercise induced asthma. While yoga has not cured or minimized the amount of asthma attacks, it has helped me to breathe through an attack when I'm without an inhaler. Let me note that I do not have severe asthma. By relearning to breathe with the diaphragm, creating a longer and deeper breath, it feels like I am bypassing my tightened lungs by filling up using lower muscles. When I go to the doctor, I "beat" the peak flow meter for my height. The peak meter is a device in which, after taking a full breath, you exhale into. The device measures lung capacity.
