Brief summary: Aimed to understand if yoga exercises are superior to posture exercises as an alternative exercise therapy for relieving musculoskeletal pain, improving functional status, and improving quality of life during the post- corona virus disease (COVID-19) period?

Detailed description: Eighty five of 200 post- COVID-19 patients, who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria obtained from the records of the State Hospital. The participants were divided into video-based (VB) yoga (n=40), home-based (HB) posture exercise (n=28), and control (n=17) groups. The socio-demographic characteristics, pain status, walking and balance, and quality of life were evaluated twice, once before and eight weeks after the exercises.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* recently diagnosed with Covid-19 and discharged from the hospital;
* being at level 0: neglected functional limitation or level 1: negligible functional limitation on the Post-Covid-19 Functional Status Scale,
* referred for physical therapy for musculoskeletal pain.

Exclusion Criteria:

* having any type of surgery in the last six months,
* being pregnant,
* being level 2 or above on the Post-Covid-19 Functional Status Scale
