Yogasana, pranayama and relaxation techniques help in regaining normalcy quickly. Our module is especially targeted towards building immunity and post Covid recovery and is readily available for everyone to use.”

Said Karan Talreja, Co Founder Reset, “The pandemic has highlighted the need for taking care of our health and strengthening our immunity. Like the rest of the world, the pandemic brought the fast-paced city of Bengaluru to a halt, including our centres in the city. However, now that our facility has reopened, we invited everyone, including our members who have recovered from Covid, to this session to provide them guidance on how to increase their immunity and lead a healthy lifestyle. The objective with this was to help everyone be prepared for the projected third wave and lead an overall healthy life, hence this was completely free of cost.”
