“My father had a bypass surgery 3 months back. Can he resume yoga breathing exercises?”
My father had a bypass surgery about 3 months back. Is it the right time for him to resume his yoga exercises, particularly his breathing exercises?

Yes, yoga breathing exercises will help his recovery but he should take them gently at first and avoid any that cause pain around the scar.
Yes
I don’t see why not as long as he does not strain his sternum too much
Yes. He should start yoga breathing exercises.

Yes, usually after three months they can even start lifting lighter weights, you just want to avoid anything that outstretches the chest, so the sternum heals well.
