It is said that the practice of Yoga is benefitting the Covid-19 patients across the country, in terms of enhancing the immunity, reducing the stress level

On the other hand, research is being conducted at the AIIMS, the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and the Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital (RGSSH) regarding the effect of yoga on  Covid-19 patients

According to India Tv, The study evaluates the effect of yoga, pranayama and relaxation, on stress, mood, sleep quality, symptom severity, quality of life and clinical outcomes in coronavirus patients
