Alternative To Pulmonary Rehab? Support Groups In NorCal South Bay?

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

My insurance won't pay for pulmonary rehab. Are there any alternatives out there? Maybe some self help ways to increase my stamina and learn to breathe better? I will probably switching carriers during open enrollment this year but it won't start until January so I'm looking for something I can do myself. Also, any COPD support groups in NorCal South Bay? Thanks for all your help.
