Boost Your Immune System and Lymph Flow
Join us for this immune-enhancing yoga class, designed to build up and support your immune system and boost your lymph flow. This class offers a variety of restorative poses and supported inversions to help eliminate stress and keep you healthy during the change of seasons.
This yoga sequence contains both heated poses to help clear congestion, and soothing, restorative postures to build ojas, or vigor, which is often considered the protective buffer of your immune system.
In addition, lymph transports a range of antibodies and specialized white blood cells designed to fight disease, flowing through the lymph nodes in specific locations in the body that filter out bacteria, foreign matter, and dead tissue.
Unlike the circulatory system, which is driven by the pump of the heart, the lymphatic system depends on gravity as well as on tissues contracting to squeeze fluid through the lymph vessels. This makes yoga poses like twists, forward folds, side bends, and inversions the perfect tools to boost lymph flow.
Transformational Work:
Transform your body and mindset through expert feedback that enhances both physical and emotional well-being.

Healing Injury? For those who have a history of injury or trauma and notice that the effects of the minor/major injuries are beginning to interfere with your everyday lives, please note that all of the yoga classes are naturally healing.
Each yoga class is designed to help release stored pain, anxiety, stress, or tension you may be experiencing so that vital, healing energy – prana – can move freely through the entire body. When vital energy is flowing freely (not obstructed), you experience positive emotions, revitalized energy, mental clarity, lightness, pain relief, and an overall sense of well-being.
