Book Review

Historically, Yoga was more than just a method of physical exercise as it is now being propagated; it was a way of life. Yoga, which originated in India and has been part of the Indian civilization for millennia, is a practice that aligns our mind, body, and spirit and enhances mental clarity.

Everyone has dedicated themselves to a lifestyle and culture that surpasses meditation techniques and includes healthy eating habits, bathing habits, social interaction, and work. But the fundamental importance of the existence of life and its unison with the soul is often possible only through the yoga illustrations in everyone’s life.

Yoga for Super Immunity by Bijoylaxmi Hota Book Cover

The COVID-19 crisis has dramatically changed how we work and also changed how we exercise and stay fit. As a form of exercise that can be easily practiced even in a small enclosed space, Yoga has found new converts during the pandemic. Yoga played an essential role in everyone’s life as gyms were closed; runners and cyclists had no option.

Also, the theory of immunity to fight the virus gave Yoga a face shift. In this connection, from food to lifestyle, changes have been embraced by people worldwide.

The best part of the book is the pictorial illustration of important asanas with an explanation.

Yoga practitioners and gurus have strived hard to help people teach the techniques and benefits of Yoga. Bijoylaxmi Hota, a reputed yoga therapist with more than three-and-a-half decades of experience, has presented her readers with this book – Yoga for Super Immunity. The book is divided into thirteen chapters, the first chapter – Saviour Immunity, describes in detail why immunity is important?

The following chapters talk about the habits one must inculcate, the simple therapies one can perform for betterment, and so on. One chapter towards the end of the book talks about the most controversial yet talked topic – The medicinal importance of Cow Urine or Gau Mutra or the Go Arq.

Apart from this, some chapters give an account of the condiments, spices, vegetables, fruits, pulses, etc., that are to be consumed for better immunity. The best part of the book is the pictorial illustration of important asanas with an explanation.

The writing is simple and straightforward with accessible language. The pages are beautiful with the Yoga mudra Lotus, and the font is exotic. This is a must-read book!
