So the COVID virus—you know how it works? It goes and attacks the membrane across which gas diffusion happens. Oxygen from the vapour phase diffuses across this membrane into the blood. And what the COVID virus does is, it increases the thickness of this membrane layer, which means the oxygen transport is cut up to a fraction of two. It means half of the oxygen only goes through. This totally immobilizes the host. And that's what the virus does.

Pranayama is a way to fight these kind of respiratory viruses naturally. And pranayama has to be done correctly. You can't just randomly do something and call it pranayama. And I put together a talk on this. It's called the ""Physics of Pranayama,"" where we look at precisely how hand positions have to be set, how the ujjayi breathing has to be done, why the counting is important.

And okay, it's not a generalized talk on any pranayama. It is specifically for the three-stage pranayama that is taught by the Art of Living Foundation. There is an upcoming talk on Sunday—this coming Sunday, on the 18th of February. It's on Zoom. It's live on Zoom. So if you attend that, maybe you will refresh your technique and maybe learn something new and do the pranayama correctly.
