#5 LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM: Yoga to Support the Immune System & Lymphatic Drainage

In class #5 of our Body Systems Yoga Series for Full Body Health, we will be focusing on the lymphatic and immune system with a 30 min vinyasa flow. The goal of this class is to support a healthy immune system and the healthy flow of lymphatic fluid throughout your body.

We will start with an introduction to this body system, to help you understand your body a little bit better. Next we will learn diaphragmatic pranayama (or belly breathing) to stimulate your thoracic duct (the largest lymphatic vessel in your body). Our bonus for this class will be a cervical lymphatic drainage osteopathic medicine technique you can try on yourself at home. Then we will get into our vinyasa style flow that was designed to get the body moving and flowing to support the immune system and get that lymphatic fluid draining even more. This whole series is designed for all levels, with harder poses mapped out in stages to allow each person to choose the level they are comfortable with.

All you will need is yourself and your mat– option to use blocks or straps to help support you in more difficult poses.
