What Fitness Experts Have to Say
“Yoga can work at three levels. One, it can significantly boost immunity. Two, by practicing yoga, you can avoid depression. And three, yoga helps the global community set new goals for itself so we can come out stronger,” celebrity yoga trainer Bharat Thakur told India Today, adding that simple asana and pranayama can stimulate “production of happy hormones.” While Sumit Sharma, a certified yoga and nutritionist and founder and director of StrongByYoga.com, adds, “Yoga offers a package for a happy, productive life, which includes physical health, mental health and spiritual health. Due to the current situation, stress levels are at a high and people are struggling with their daily lifestyle.”
Grand Master Akshar added to the conversation, saying, “Yoga will play a powerful role as this crisis is not limited to discovering the vaccine for it alone. Healing and alternative therapies will have a huge role to play in resolving this global pandemic situation. The world is full of many unknown viruses that we are still unaware about. Therefore, rather than waiting for the cure for each, we must fortify ourselves.”
