Covid-19 has affected us all in some or the other way. If you or someone you know is recovering from the Covid-19 virus, you understand that it can be a tough journey. While taking medicines prescribed by your doctor, talking to your close ones to relieve stress and having healthy food are some ways to deal with the recovery process, including a few yoga asanas can also be of great help. Other than boosting immunity, yoga can help a Covid-patient de-stress and improve their lung capacity.

She trains stars like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ananya Panday, Rakul Preet Singh and more. The post features five 'simple, fast and effective' yoga asanas that boost immunity and provide strength.

Anshuka posted five pictures of herself doing the yoga asanas. They are Cow pose or Bitilasana, Cat pose or Marjaryasana, Butterfly pose or Baddha Konasana⁣, Puppy pose or Uttana Shishosana, and Wind release pose or Pavanamuktasana.
