1. Circulation is increased, therefor blood flow to the lung tissue itself is increased
2. More oxygen is given to the lungs, resulting in increased respiration
3. Tissue respiration is also increased
4. An overall relaxation effect will mean that both cardiovascular and respiratory systems are less stressed
5. Effects on breathing muscles means that breathing can be more efficient, deeper and complete
6. Lung capacity is improved due to relaxation and reduction in tightness of the respiratory muscles
