Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion

Mr. Michael Darragh MacAuley:

In terms of relaxation and the breathing aspect would be very light. The yoga class is where patients are connected to a group who are in the same space as them. For years I taught patients yoga in a place on Aungier Street and with Covid my class is now mainly taught online. It is really important to get moving and try to do anything. Exercise and how to go about that is often scary for people in their later years. However, when people are told they have a lung condition they really wonder how to go about exercise and that is where speciality care is needed.
