Yoga can alleviate the symptoms of minor viral infections as well as boost the immune system to help the body recover from illness. Stress reducing poses keeps the immune system strong to help prevent and cure the common cold. Chest opening upper back bends will activate the primary organ of the immune system, the thymus gland, located in the center of the chest. Inversions increase the passive circulation of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for the production and circulation of the immune cells to defend the body from the viruses and bacteria.

You cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it, just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To "have" running water you must let go of it and let it run. Alan Watts |
Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
