Abstract

Yoga is defined as to control the inner behavior of mind and body. It is difficult for our body to keep pathogens away when the immunity is down. We cannot stop being in contact with the affected people but we can certainly work out a way to strengthen our defense mechanism not only by taking medicines but by practicing yoga as it is a natural immunity booster. Yoga is an ancient art that strengthens our body and also relaxes the mind. Hence, yoga is one of the most effective and time tested natural immunity enhancing therapies that we can adopt for a healthier life. A healthy life can be easily achieved if we learn to go for healthier lifestyle, healthier food habits and choices and regular practice of yoga and meditation. This paper presents the importance of yoga and some asanas which will help to boost the immunity for a healthy life with regular practice. Yoga is not an alternative medicine but a precaution to keep disease away. So, this is the time to beat all health issues and improve the immunity with ease i.e. with regular yoga practice.
