Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected global health, disrupting not only physical well-being but also mental and emotional stability. The absence of universally effective pharmacological interventions has emphasized the importance of complementary therapies that enhance immunity, reduce stress, and promote overall resilience. Yoga, through its integrated practices of asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), and dhyana (meditation), has demonstrated significant physiological and psychological benefits relevant to COVID-19 prevention and recovery. This review synthesizes recent findings on yoga’s role in modulating immune responses, improving respiratory efficiency, and alleviating anxiety, depression, and post-COVID fatigue. Evidence from clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews indicates that yoga can serve as an adjunctive strategy for improving health outcomes during and after the pandemic. The paper concludes with future directions emphasizing the need for standardized yoga-based intervention protocols to complement mainstream healthcare.
