7. Dear Ashtanga Newsletter: I would like to share my extraordinary experience of overcoming asthma difficulty through the practice of Ashtanga yoga. I am a new practitioner of Ashtanga, taking classes with guruji Helena Niininen at the Salve Stockholm centre in Stockholm, Sweden. Even in the first few days of practicing Ashtanga yoga, and especially, I believe, the sounded breathing exercises, I experienced that my asthma difficulties disappeared completely. Within a few days, I no longer needed to use an inhaler at night because my breathing was open and easy.I wish to thank my teacher guruji Helena Niininen and the esteemed teachers of Ashtanga.Thank you. With best wishes, Aaron Thomas (Stockholm, Sweden).
