The nationwide outbreak of the coronavirus has worried us all, and the lockdown is likely to lead to more mental
problems such as stress and anxiety. Everyone is at home because of the ongoing lockdown. Trade, government
agencies, private offices are closed. So many hands do not work. Many are facing financial difficulties due to a lack of
employment. In the lockdown, many families are stranded elsewhere. Yoga is an elixir that helps both the body and the
mind to get rid of the symptoms of anxiety and depression for the mentally disturbed citizens for several reasons. This
research paper sheds light on how yoga and pranayama are beneficial in reducing the stress and anxiety caused by
Covid-19.
