ABSTRACT

Since the 1970s, meditation and other stress‑reduction techniques have been studied as possible treatments for depression and anxiety. One such practice, yoga, has received less attention in the medical literature, though it has become increasingly popular in recent decades. The tremendous spread of infectious viral disease spread throughout the world. The only weapon to fight against this life threatening disease is to build our natural defense mechanism which depends upon the immune system of the body. The traditional yogic practices are found to be very effective to boost our immunity. The asana and the pranayama along with simple, natural diet are sufficient to boost our immunity and promote a healthy life.

Key words: Asanas, Pranayama, Yoga and Immunity
