Frequently Asked Questions
?
Can a respiratory wellness retreat replace my asthma inhaler?
A respiratory wellness retreat works alongside your existing medical care and does not replace inhalers, prescribed medication or pulmonologist review. Bring both reliever and preventer inhalers, and tell staff your diagnosis before any breath practice begins.
?
What breathing practices are taught on a respiratory wellness retreat?
Respiratory wellness retreats teach pranayama techniques such as anulom vilom, bhramari and kapalabhati, alongside yogic cleansing practices including jala neti and steam inhalation. Sessions usually run twice daily for thirty to forty five minutes under a trained yoga therapist.
?
When is the best time to book a respiratory wellness retreat?
October to March suits most respiratory wellness retreats, when air quality and humidity are more settled at the majority of centres. Avoid the weeks when your own seasonal triggers, such as pollen or crop burning, tend to peak.
