With an aim to boost immunity by using the lockdown period in a productive way, Smita Parashar- a girl from Bajali- has begun online yoga coaching.

Speaking to Northeast Now, Smita said that the restricted travel, panic over the risk of infection, continuous flow of negative news and scarcity of day-to-day material were some of the things that gave her the idea to start the online yoga classes.

โ€œI want the next generation to remain stress-free with a strong immune system and healthy body,โ€ she further said.

โ€œThe sole aim behind these online sessions is to pass on the mantra of staying fit and healthy during this pandemic,โ€ she added.

โ€œAs social-distancing has reduced our physical movements, it is important to uplift vitality without having to step out of the comfort of our homes,โ€ she said.

โ€œWith the practice of good hygiene, one must also adopt ways to boost oneโ€™s immunity naturally,โ€ she added.
