I am a retired welder. The reason I retired is because I was diagnosed with a lung problem, industrial lung disease, which caused me to loose my normal lung capacity.

I talked with my doctor and asked if yoga would help with the problem, he said that it would not hurt and that exercise would beneficial. I chose Bikram yoga because my long time friend Margaret taught it and was sure it would help. After some 15 sessions I have noticed a large difference with my lungs and have lost 10 pounds. My mental, physical and breathing are much better.
