The lymphatic system is an essential component of our immune system that helps eliminate toxins and waste from the body. You can think of it as your clean-up crew. Our lymphatics are responsible for transporting waste and toxins out of the tissues back to the bloodstream and regulating the immune response as a local communication mechanism within the tissues. Your lymphatic system creates an essential link for the immune cells to both monitor and respond to signals to increase or decrease immune and inflammatory responses. This also helps protect the body from threats like infections, bacteria and cancer while balancing fluid levels.
Yoga for lymph flow is a specially designed sequence which combines gentle movement, deep breathing, and soothing Yin and Restorative poses to naturally stimulate lymph flow, promote relaxation, and enhance your body’s natural detox process.
Whether you're looking to detox, relieve tension, reduce stress, or simply feel revitalized, this practice will help your body restore balance, support your body's natural detoxification and promote overall wellbeing.
