In fact, you can try out yoga poses to recover faster and better. Here's a list of yoga poses that you can try. The Instagram page named Anushka Yoga posted about these asanas.

There's a lot you can do to come back faster and stronger from Covid nutritionally and physically."
Regarding the asanas, here's what the post said, "These asanas are simple, fast and effective and will improve lung capacity, strengthen you & boost your immunity. I have been practising them every single day. You can start with doing them for a few minutes daily and then slowly build up."
Here are the five yoga poses or asanas you can try practising:
1. Cow pose or Bitilasana
In this pose, you are on all fours. While keeping your arms just below the shoulders and looking forward, you arch your back downwards.

In the cat pose, you are again on all fours. But this time you will arch your back upwards or outwards while looking downwards.
