Restorative Yoga for Immune System Support | YWM 669

Living your Yoga with Dr Melissa West

This 60-minute Restorative Yoga class designed to support your immune system. In this session, we'll explore therapeutic poses that are designed to activate your lymphatic system, thymus glands and vagus nerve. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, the restorative yoga poses encourage relaxation and reduce the production of stress hormones which suppress your immune system. There are several poses which support lymphatic drainage and production which aid in toxin removal and enhance your immune system's effectiveness. Throughout the class we will also focus on postures and breath practices to support your respiratory health and activate your parasympathetic nervous system which will also improve sleep quality, and reduce inflammation. These restorative yoga poses are designed to assist in improving lymph production and therefore toxin removal and support immune cell circulation in your body.
