November 8 - November 26
REGISTER HERE
As temperatures cool and the leaves turn to red and gold this autumnal season, we boost immunity through movement, mindfulness, and yoga. We use our practice as a kind of “flu shot” to inoculate both body and mind against viral invasion. At the start of each class, we detail the anatomical location of the lymph followed by restorative and dynamic practices to build radiant immunity.
Friday, November 8 | The Inner Leg
In this class we mobilize the lymph in the upper inner thigh by stretching, pumping, and lengthening the fascia of the inner groin. In addition to opening the inner thigh, we improve lymphatic circulation through the foot, ankle, and hip.
Tuesday, November 12 | The Gut
In order to assist detoxification of the blood, there is an abundance of lymph throughout the abdomen. In this class we pump, twist, and lengthen the belly in order to improve lymph drainage in the gut.
Friday, November 15 | The Lungs
There are many lymph nodes scattered throughout the lung to prevent respiratory infection. In this class we generate mobility in the rib, chest, and lung in order to strengthen the lung chi and ward off infection.
Tuesday, November 19 | The Underarm
There is a colony of lymph nodes in the underarm that facilitates lymph drainage through the breast, arm and collarbone region. In this class we pump, rock, slide and stretch the underarm and surrounding tissue to improve circulation of lymph through the shoulder and chest.
Friday, November 22 | The Neck
There are numerous lymph nodes in the neck and throat that prevent unwanted bacteria from entering the body. In yoga, the throat chakra is known as the place of purification. In this practice we increase the flow of blood and lymph through the neck and throat to safeguard the body against infection.
Tuesday, November 26 | The Jaw, Face, and Tongue
Aestheticians know the importance of maintaining the health of the facial skin to facilitate immunity. In yoga there are numerous techniques to help promote blood and lymph through the face, jaw, and tongue. In this class we lift and stretch the soft tissues of the face while cleansing and rinsing the sinuses, palate, and upper throat.
