Q –Are there any particular yoga practices and Ayurvedic tips that can help strengthen immunity and vitality as we enter September?

A – To boost immunity, begin by incorporating asanas that open the chest and lungs, such as Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) and Extended Side Angle (Utthita Parsvakonasana). These poses can help improve respiratory health and circulation. Pranayama techniques like Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath) help cleanse and energise the system. In Ayurveda, boosting immunity in September includes consuming foods rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, like turmeric, ginger, and citrus fruits. Drinking warm water with lemon and honey can also support detoxification. Regular yoga practice, combined with these dietary practices, will help fortify the immune system for the months ahead.
