But very often we find ourselves down with the flu or a cold and fever.

For the immune system to work efficiently, hatha yoga has a set of asanas that improves your immune system. If you have been feeling lethargic, stressed, or falling ill regularly, then it warrants you to follow immune system boost yoga/exercises or in certain cases diet.

If the immune system is weak, external bacteria can go into the lungs and cause bronchitis or pneumonia. Yoga is one of the main tools for maintaining the health of our respiratory system. Breathing technique and asana (posture) help improve the mechanical efficiency of our lungs by conditioning the repertory tract that increase the elasticity and strength of the whole lung.
