Kamala Venkat recommends the Cobra Pose to boost your immunity against diseases this rainy season
Mrs. Kamala Venkat
Raise Your Hood This Monsoon

The monsoon not only brings refreshing showers but also various diseases like dysentery, asthma, arthritis, and nasal and skin allergies. Immunity plays a key role in fending off such diseases. Practicing Bhujangasana daily helps in increasing immunity.

Bhujangasana is a back-bending yoga pose, which is also a part of the traditional Surya Namaskar sequence. Visually, it reflects the posture of a cobra that has its hood raised, and hence it is also known as the ‘Cobra Pose.’
