Yoga For Healing

A yoga practice can change your life.

According to the book The Book of Lymph by Lisa Levitt Gainsley, CLT, “All yoga sequences will get your lymph flowing. Inversions [like downward dog] encourage lymph to flow back to the heart, and twists move lymph through the abdomen… The ceaselessly flowing rivers of lymph are incredibly powerful in their ability to cleanse the body of toxins and waste and promote healthy immune function.”

What is lymph? The lymph system is one of the systems of the body, and lymph is the fluid that flows through it. Unlike the cardiovascular system that has the heart to pump its flow, the lymph system has no central pump.

But when it gets sluggish and backed up, bad health outcomes are sure to follow. Doing yoga encourages lymph flow, which is excellent for your health.

Usually we think of lymph in reference to disease, like swollen lymph nodes related to infections, and cancer. It’s SO much better to create a healthy lymph system BEFORE disease hits.

A clean and well flowing lymph system is key to good health, glowing skin, and a clear mind (there is even lymph in the brain).

All the systems in the body are connected. When you heal one, the others are impacted as well.

In the Rhythmic Lifestyle we heal the lymph, endocrine, digestive, immune, and nervous systems to create a healthy life. When you’re healthy, you can enjoy life so much more, and be resilient during hard times, too.

In my yoga classes, I also show you techniques to get lymph flowing in your face and neck, which will reduce puffiness and inflammation.

The Rhythmic Lifestyle Yoga classes are designed for all levels. I demonstrate how to use props to assist you in making poses easier and more accessible.

These classes are designed to meet you where you’re at, even if you’ve never done yoga, or if you feel like you’re out of shape.

Gentle flows and deep breathing create calm. Flexibility, strength, and balance are all cultivated.

Even if you feel tired or heavy, you can do these classes.

As you practice them, a new lightness and energy will enter your life.

The Rhythmic Lifestyle Yoga Membership and Coaching launches on 2/2/22. Look for my post that day with details. Hope to see you there!!

Warmly,
