High altitude sojourn is a risk factor for hypobaric hypoxemia and sub-sequent altitude sickness. The aim of this study was to analyze the ef-fect of new type of yogic breathing—Maheshwarananda’s new Modi-fied Bhujangini Pranayama performed by active yoga practitioners—on the arterial haemoglobin saturation of oxygen (measured by the pulse oximetry - SpO2) and the heart rate compared to normal sponta-neous resting breathing. A pilot prospective study was conducted in the Himalayas at an altitude of 3,650 m. We monitored SpO2 and pulse rate in 34 experienced yoga practitioners. Within the 3 measurement days at the altitude of 3,650 m, the mean value of SpO2 increased from 89.11± 4.78 to 93.26±4.44 (P<0.001) after the yogic breathing exercise. No sig-nificant changes were observed in pulse rate (P<0.230) measured be-fore and after yogic breathing. The new Yogic breathing—Maheshwa-rananda’s Modified Bhujangini Pranayama—is increasing the arterial haemoglobin saturation compared to normal resting spontaneous breath-ing. The heart rate was not affected by this type of yogic breathing.
