This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a breathing technique called Shitali respiratory pranayama can help treat obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. Half of the 40 participants will practice this specific breathing exercise three times daily for 12 weeks, while the other half will receive no treatment so researchers can compare the results.
Obstructive sleep apnea affects many people and can lead to serious health problems, but not everyone wants or can use the standard treatments like CPAP machines. This trial explores whether this traditional breathing exercise might offer a simpler, non-invasive option.

If you join the active treatment group, you will practice a 5-minute breathing exercise six times in a row, three times each day (morning, afternoon, and evening) for 12 weeks. The control group will not receive this treatment so researchers can see whether the breathing exercises actually make a difference. The study lasts 12 weeks total.
