Study Arms (2)

Yoga Training Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Training: Before the yoga program, the patients will be informed about the bronchiectasis disease and its symptoms, as well as all the parameters used in the evaluation, tests and the content of the yoga session. During the program, the perceived fatigue intensity of the patients will be questioned with the Modified Borg Scale. Yoga Session 1-8 weeks and duration * Breathing Exercises 5 min * Instant Relaxation Technique 2 min * Warm-up Exercises 10 min * Quick Relaxation Technique 3 min * Asanas (Posture Exercises) 15 min * Alternative Breathing Exercises 10 min * Deep Relaxation Technique 3 min

Other: Yoga Training Program (exercises)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Training: The exercise program will include respiration exercises that they can do at home. Before the exercise program, the patients will be informed about the bronchiectasis disease and its symptoms, as well as all the parameters and tests used in the evaluation. Respiratory control, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and the reasons, importance and effects of exercise training in the treatment program will be explained. Breathing Exercises (10 min) Pursed-lip breathing training, Chest breathing exercise (10 repetitions), Diaphragmatic breathing exercise (10 repetitions), Bilateral basal expansion breathing exercises (10 repetitions)
