Yoga is more than a set of exercises. Yoga is a gateway to goodness and health.
Although the season of allergies, the monsoons, is embraced by all for the coolness and freshness it brings, the health hazards of monsoon keep us on guard. Here are a few Yoga poses that can help you strengthen your immunity system.
Kapalbhati is one of the easiest, and by far one of the most effective Yoga poses, for cleaning and cleansing your lungs which is of utmost importance during Monsoon. In today’s world, pollution and other factors are constantly at work putting your respiratory tracts and lungs at danger. Kapalbhati is a simple breathing process which strengthens your lungs and exercises your stomach muscles.
Pranayama is a systematic breathing exercise which makes the lungs stronger, enhances blood circulation, and allows you to breathe fully. Pranayama helps you develop a habit of deep breathing and helps you calm down mental disturbances of all kinds.
Svanasana is an inverted Yoga pose which reverses the impact of gravity on our body thereby allowing blood and lymph to flow in opposite directions. It also helps take pressure off the heart and strengthens our bones. Svanasana is simple to practice and provides a 360 degree stretch to our body.
Bandhasana requires a little practice but once you’ve mastered it, it provides multiple benefits for your body and mind. It helps in stretching the chest, neck, hips, and spine. Also, it improves digestion and relieves from symptoms of asthma and blood pressure. Bandhasana reduces anxiety, fatigue, and is considered therapeutic for hypertension and even sinusitis.
While Bhujangasana is nothing short of a wonder asana for recurring neck and back pain, it has other benefits as well. Bhujangasana helps open the chest and stimulates the thymus gland. It proves vital in improving the immunity system by releasing T cells.
Naukasana is another highly effective Yoga pose which helps in improving the body’s overall immunity. Naukasna strengthens your lungs, liver, and pancreas. It also assists in reducing belly fat. Moreover, the pose is important for improvement of digestion. All these benefits make Naukasana an essential Yoga pose for Monsoon.
