As a cybersecurity professional driven by curiosity and reasoning, I tend to experiment with practices before embracing them fully. Although my elders have practiced yoga for years, it wasn’t until the pre-COVID era that I started incorporating Yoga asanas into my routine.
Initially, I practiced inconsistently, mainly on weekends, due to work commitments. However, after contracting COVID and experiencing a reduction in lung capacity, I decided to devote more time to yoga.
My health challenges included lung issues, post-COVID fever, anxiety, and back pain. While doctors prescribed medication, they could not provide comprehensive solutions.

Along with this, do meditate daily for peace of mind.
Through consistent practice, I found these Yoga Asanas to be helpful in improving my overall health and well-being.
During the times when there was reduced COVID-19 cases last summer, I took up swimming, which led to a remarkable improvement in my lung capacity. This newfound strength allowed me to complete 25 laps, a feat I couldn’t achieve before.
