Covid-19 has the potential to impair lung function, making even spontaneous breathing difficult. Even after recovering from Covid-19, many people report dyspnea, impaired ability to exercise, and breathing discomfort. All of our physical functions are affected by poor breathing, and we are unable to release stress and anxiety the way we used to.
Pranayama, or the ancient discipline of managing your breath, has been shown to improve lung function, blood pressure, and brain function, among other things. Pranayama has been shown to help with relaxation and mindfulness in studies.
"Breathing occurs spontaneously and without effort, but when we have Covid, our respiratory organs are compromised, making breathing difficult. We must make a conscious effort to practice basic Pranayama during this time. When we practice this with intention, it has a positive impact on every organ, muscle, and system in the body "Grand Master Akshar, a renowned Yoga Guru, adds
"When the body is in a state of balance, it impacts our thinking and causes us to align our actions. This boosts mood, decreases stress, and speeds up recovery. The breath's job is to bring us into balance, as well as to calm and alert us. With the help of simple breathing exercises, we may control our healing and recovery processes. This technique can also help us become calm and in control, removing panic, stress, and concern "he continues.
To help you recover from Covid, the Yoga master recommends three effective breathing techniques:
These breathing techniques can be practiced for as little as five minutes each day at first, and then gradually increased over time.

Bhastrika Pranayama is a type of pranayama that focuses on the breath.
Bhastrika Pranayama: Its Importance
Bhastrika means "below" in Sanskrit, while pranayama means "breathing practices" in Sanskrit. The sound created by your breath while doing this pranayama is similar to the sound made by blacksmiths' bellows, and Bhastrika helps to increase bodily capacity.
Method
* Take a deep breath in and completely exhale.
* A 1:1 ratio is required for both inhalation and exhalation. For example, if you inhale for four counts, you must exhale for four counts.
2. Bhramari Pranayama (Bhramari Pranayama)
Bhramari Pranayama's Importance
Bhramar Pranayama gets its name from the word "bhramar," which means "bumble bee." Pranayama is a breathing practice with a wide range of applications. 'Bee breath' is another term for it. Bhramari pranayama lowers fatigue and mental tension by imitating the sound of a bee humming.
Method
* Place your thumbs on the outside of your ear and your index finger on your forehead; middle finger on the Medial Canthus; and ring finger on the corner of your nostril.
* Make a bee-like buzzing sound as you inhale and exhale.
* Feel the vibrations with your lips closed.
3. Anulom Vilom (Anulom Vilom) (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
Anulom Vilom's Importance
Anulom Vilom Pranayam is a different way of breathing. The phrases 'Anuloma' and 'Viloma' signify 'natural order' and 'moving against' in Sanskrit. Anulom Vilom Pranayam relieves depression, tension, and anxiety, and consistent practice has been shown to be beneficial to overall health.
Method:
* Alternate nostril breathing by gently closing the right nostril, inhaling into the left nostril and closing it, and exhaling out through the right nose. Then inhale through your right nostril before closing it and exhaling through your left. This is the end of one cycle.
"If you have Covid-19, these three breathing techniques of Brahmari, Basthrika, and Anulom Vilom pranayama would be extremely beneficial. They should be done properly in order to go deeper and reap numerous physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. As a result, it's critical that you devote sufficient time to mastering them "According to the yoga expert.
