I have asthma and absolutely love yoga. I attend three sessions a week. I carry with me my Pulse Oximeter at all times. Anyone with asthma should carry one with them at all times.
I am in the same situation. I do a bunch of biking an carry my pulse oximeter at all times. You are right anyone with any breathing disorder should carry one at all times.
