Abstract

Indigenous Psychology always studies people in natural surroundings. It gives importance to understand and study the behaviour according to the culture of native people. It examines the psychological phenomena in real and cultural circumstances. Indigenous psychology is very important for all cultural and racial groups. There is a close relationship between yoga and Indigenous psychology. Yoga is the most important branch of Indian psychology. Yoga is the union of physical, mental and spiritual aspects. The spread of Covid-19 focuses on building immunity. Yoga enhances the immunity power and quality of life. During the Covid-19 crisis, the people have a lot of spare time for themselves and yoga. So, they should do yoga in a regular basis to beat Covid-19. This paper will review how yoga (some important asanas and pranayams) would help to improve the body's immune system. Since no medicines and vaccines have discovered for Covid till today, the yoga can be beneficial to beat Corona Virus Disease- 19.
