Q: I tend to get cold quickly and was wondering if you can advise any yoga to heat the body during winter is just going to make my body feel even more freezing. T. Smyth – Birmingham

A: There are a few exercises in yoga that generate heat and practising regularly can help you stay warm. Try learning ujjayi which is a pranayama (breathing) exercise. Ideally, this is for someone who is at intermediate or advanced stage of yoga,. But, beginners can learn this under the guidance of a teacher. This exercise is particularly recommended for your objective but is also for anyone experiencing conditions that affect the lungs, breathing and asthmatic conditions as it helps revivify and expel dampness and cold from the respiratory systems.
