The Covid – 19 pandemic has become a major global challenge, especially for
Health care sector. In the current situation where the number of positive cases of
Covid-19 is outstripping existing health care facilities, an economically feasible
therapeutic option is of critical importance. Strategies that can improve immune
surveillance and resilience in terms of reduction in inflammatory markers and
improvement in the activity of the specific immune cells involved in the
pathogenesis of COVID-19 is the need of the hour. Non –specific ways of
improving overall lost immunity are the need of the hour. Thus, traditional Indian
systems of treating ailments through yogasana should be explored for their
potential role in improving lost immunity and reducing severity of the infection.
Yogaasana and Pranayama emphasise on modulation of lost factor such as
regulation and moderation of the lifestyle factors. Host immunity is down regulated
due to altered lifestyle patterns such as consumption of unwholesome food,
physical activity, improper sleep, wake cycle, and increase in workload, stress and
addictions. This results in fragility of the immune resilience that make the lost
succumb to the virulence of the virus. Thus, the aim of yoga therapeutics is to
enhance lost immunity and reduce the extent of infection and inflammation in the
body by balancing body hormones and lifestyle factors.

Dharunasana, Vajrasana, Tadasana, and Anulom-Viloma etc.involves the body,
breath and mind, affecting many systems simultaneously and resulting in reduced
anxiety and perceived stress and increase positive well-being. The impact of asana
and pranayama on mental well-being, has been suggested to be mediated mainly
by improvement in autonomic responses to stress and copying behaviours.
Yogic practice is linked to improved immunity and stress regulation as well as
better emotional regulation. Yogasana can be helpful across a broad range of
symptoms of mental illness.
