As the seasons change, the chances of falling sick rise sharply. It’s difficult for our body to keep the pathogens at bay when the immunity levels are down and people around us are sneezing and coughing. Though we cannot shun from being in contact with those who are ill, we can certainly work our way to strengthen our defense mechanism.

Antibiotics and other medicines do help the body recover from the disease, but they don’t help improve the body’s immunity. yoga, perhaps, is one of the most effective and time-tested natural immunity boosters that we can adopt for a healthier life. It is an ancient art that strengthens the body and also relaxes the mind. Let’s have a look at a few simple yoga poses that can help you put up a strong resistance the next time flu season comes around:

Yoga: Stand tall with Yoga


Shishuasana (Child pose)

Shishuasana is an excellent pose to decongest the chest and build a better immunity defense system.

Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose)

The Setu Bandhasana opens the heart and improves blood circulation. It increases energy in the body to help put a better resistance against pathogens.

Halasana (Plow pose)

Halasana is a backward bend that releases white cells in the body and strengthens the immune system.

Bhujangasana (Cobra pose)

Bhujangasana is a chest opening pose which helps release white cells that improve the body’s immunity.

Dhanurasana (Bow pose)

Dhanurasana is yet other pose that improves the flow of white cells by putting pressure on the digestive system.

Matsyasana (Fish pose)

Matsyasana expands the chest and stimulates the thymus. This helps improve the body’s immunity level.
