After centuries of Industrial development and enjoying the luxury and comfort of it, now we are bombarded with pandemic waves. For some its new, for some it was anticipated. It is very well known by everyone that the Coronavirus , spreads from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe.
These particles range from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosole which effects and damage the lungs of the patient. Making it to difficult for a person to breathe and cause major damage to the person’s immunity.
According to Yogic Science, a breath of a human is crucial to maintain and improve the immunity of a person. It is known as “Koorma naadi”. This is also the fundamental space which keeps the physical and non physical aspect of a living being intact up until death. Unfortunately, the virus attacks lungs and reduces immunity across the entire body. This is where yoga plays a major role.

Yoga for boosting immunity
Yoga and Pranayamas(breathing techniques) are specifically designed to improve the function of each and every organ of a human body. Yoga activates the para-sympathetic nervous system which naturally lowers the stress hormones. This allows the immunity to improve effectively.
Especially coronavirus, attacks the lungs primarily and then spreads across body. We have some yoga postures that gives a lot of work to the chest region, respiratory system, spine, supplying them with a lot of blood and thereby increasing the immunity naturally. Pranayamas are best for strengthening the Koorma naadi, cleaning energetically and boosting immunity throughout the body.
Some of the yoga posture for immunity
1. Padahasthasana
A very simple asana, which allows the person to breath in and out, while there is enough blood rush in the upper region of the body, including respiratory and cerebral region. Promotes flexibility and strength to the spine.
2. Kumbhakasana
This asana seems simple but there is a tension that occurs at the core region of our body. During this pose the breathing of a person strengthens the lungs directly.
3. Parivritta Janusirsasana
In this asana, a lot of pressure is given at the lymphatic region. Staying in this pose and breathing helps in strengthening the muscles around the lungs and chest area.
4. Dhanurasana
During this asana, the spine gets much strength and flexibility. Breathing in and out during this asana helps in balancing the respiratory system.
5. Supta Konasana
The entire lower body has its pressure balanced over the upper body. This helps in fresh blood circulation in and around the lungs and chest area, naturally boosting immunity.
