Summary

This study tests whether six weeks of slow, resistive yoga breathing (Ujjayi) can improve breathing patterns, lung function, and sleep quality in 20 adults aged 18-60 with spinal cord injuries. Participants will practice the breathing technique at home and complete lab tests before and after training. The goal is to understand how this simple practice might support the body's natural breathing control.
