Immunity is the defense system of the body that combats diseases and infections where the body possesses both Innateimmunity, which is present from birth, and Acquired immunity, which develops after exposure to pathogens. The stronger the Innate immunity, the better the overall health of the body, as it serves as the body's natural defense mechanism and experts claim that Yoga plays a crucial role in enhancing this innate immune system. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, Founder of Akshar Yoga Kendraa, shared, “By calming the mind and fostering a deep connection between the mind and body, Yoga naturally enhances the body's internal communication, thereby boosting its defense capabilities.
Additionally, Yoga promotes both internal and external communication within the body and works with the body's energy flow, revitalising each cell with life force energy, also known as Prana. This movement of Prana rejuvenates the body and naturally enhances its innate ability to heal.” He recommended a gentle Yoga sequence designed to support and enhance the immune system or practices that support and enhance the immune system: 1.
