Immune System Support
We often liken our immune system to an army fighting invasion, but most of the time it acts more like a housekeeper: cleaning, maintaining, and performing small repairs. Short, rhythmic, repetitive flows aim to tap into several key channels through which yoga asana can support these daily immune system activities: maintaining fascial health and hydration, encouraging healthy lymph flow, and soothing the central nervous system with abdominal breathing. Students of TCM may also see nods to the protective influence of the Metal Element. You’ll need a yoga block (for firmly folded blanket). There is a little kneeling work, so if you are on a hard floor you may also like to have a blanket on hand to pad under your knees.

I am learning so much, I am healing so much, I am feeling so much
“I have been subscribed to many yoga platforms in the past, always unsubscribed at some point because it wasn’t meeting my needs and/or expectations. But Yoga Medicine Online is the best platform there is. I am so grateful for you, and the community. I am a humanitarian worker and experience debilitating burn out and trauma; you have played an essential role in my journey back to health. From the bottom of my heart… thank you.” – Joanna Heyse
Just LOVE the Yoga Medicine Online classes (and courses too)
“Somehow you seem to magically know what I need and I don’t need to spend time searching, instead I can jump right into it with your pre-selected playlists. I am really glad that I subscribed, it’s such a valuable add-on to what I already do and truly inspiring, too.” – Katharina Buchinger
