Message from a Yogi in Quarantine
Here is the message from an Indian Yogi Mahi and Founder of Mahi Yoga Centre who is currently in quarantine to prevent COVID-19 spread
Hello world!
I hope everyone is doing well. Staying home and safe.
It is my 7th day of self quarantine! Due to my travel history, I have to quarantine myself for at least 28 days.
But thanks to technology, it is possible to find out what is going in the world. I have big sympathy for those countries who are suffering from this novel virus on a big scale. I offer my deep condolences for those who have been affected, lost their family members. And thanks to the wonderful medical carers who are fighting this on the front line.
I request all of you please stay at home and break the chain of this virus.
My advice on how to maintain a healthy mind body and spirit during this time:
- Practice sun-salutations for cleansing the body and general good health.
- All types of inversions increase immunity: Vipreeta karnee, setu bandha asana, salmbha asana, Vipreeta dandasana.
- Pranayama is very good for the respiratory system: Kapala bhati, agnisar and bhastrika pranayama. Please avoid these if you are suffering from high BP or heart problems. {You can have a long sleep instead of that}
- Herbal remedies that are very good: Asparagus, black pepper and Turmeric with garlic is also very good.
- Mudra: linga mudra is the very best because it increases the heat in the body and will also help to get rid of this virus.
Wishing you a healthy and safe life
Stay home stay protected.
