Yoga boosts immunity, raises oxygen level: Sadhguru

The sessions will also include general tips on appropriate dietary habits that will help to maintain one’s physical and mental wellbeing.
Isha’s offering comes in the backdrop of increasing scientific evidence that Yogic practices can reduce the devastating impact of the virus on the human body.
