A Yoga Practice for Your Immune System

Описание: Use Yoga to Strengthen the Immune System during the Coronavirus

Join Temmi as she takes you through a yoga practise to strengthen your immune system as we face COVID19. Now, more than ever before in our lives, we need to take good care of ourselves and find our way back to the present moment. Temmi will teach you how to do each pose correctly, while explaining how they help to improve and strengthen immunity. In this sequence we hold the poses for long holdings and practise inversions and restorative poses. In addition to enhancing the lymphatic and immune systems, this practise calms the nervous system, helps with fatigue and stress, maintains the health of the respiratory system, and creates emotional and mental stability and relaxation.

This practise is geared towards students with yoga experience; however, modifications for poses using props are provided for beginners. Those without previous experience in headstand and shoulderstand should not practise these without the guidance of an experienced teacher. If practicing Sarvangasana and Halasana, the chair and stool should be placed on a mat, with the chair positioned against a wall if possible. The demonstration of Sarvangasana and Halasana in the video is presented sideways for visual clarity.

Please feel free to practise the entire sequence or to omit any postures that cause discomfort or are beyond your capabilities. If any tensions arise, come out of the pose in order to not put any strain on your parasympathetic nervous system. This sequence can be shortened as well to best meet your needs. If practicing the full sequence, the timings for some of the poses are as follows:

• Adho Mukha Virasana – 3 minutes
• Uttanasana – 3 minutes
• Adho Mukha Svanasana – 3 minutes
• Prasarita Padottanasana – 5 minutes
• Sirsasana – 10 minutes
• Viparita Dandasana – 5 minutes
• Sarvangasana – 10 minutes
• Halasana – 5 minutes
• Paschimottanasana – 3 minutes
• Supta Baddha Konasana – 10 minutes
• Jatara Parivatasana – 2 minutes
• Setubhanda Sarvangasana – 10 minutes
• Viparita Karani – 10 minutes
• Savasana – 10 minutes

Props required for the practise: a mat; bolster or 2-3 blankets or large towels; 2 blocks or books held together to create blocks; a chair; and a belt.

Let me know how it goes. Stay safe and have a wonderful practice. Namaste.
