While significant progress has been made in understanding and treating acute Covid-19 pneumonia, very little is understood about how long it takes for patients to fully recover and whether changes within the lungs persist.
Lung capacity or total lung capacity (TLC) is the volume of air in the lungs upon the maximum effort of inspiration. Among healthy adults, the average lung capacity is about 6 liters.
Though having both lungs is ideal, it is possible to live and function without one lung. Having one lung will still allow a person to live a relatively normal life. Having one lung might limit a person's physical abilities, however, such as their ability to exercise.

Typically, a man's lungs can hold more air than a woman's. At rest, a man's lungs can hold around 750 cubic centimeters (about 1.5 pints) of air, while a woman's can hold around 285 to 393 cc (0.6 to 0.8 pints) of air, according to York University.
“Yoga is a light, which once lit will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter your flame.” — B.K.S. Iyengar.
A study from the International Journal of Yoga evaluated the effects of yoga training on lung function in patients with COPD. The study showed patients with COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary Disease) who engaged in yoga had better transfer of oxygen from the lungs into the blood stream.
Yoga poses to enhance lung capacity
• Forward bend pose (Paschimo-ttanasana)
• Cat pose (Bidalasana)
• Cobra (Bhujangasana)
• Cow pose (Bitilasana)
• Locust pose (Shalabhasana)
• Eight limbed pose (Ashtangasana)
