Miraculous exercises, yoga combines soft stretching, breathing and meditation to reduce stress and improve overall health. Stress weakens the immune system, increasing harmful hormones such as cortisol. Practicing yoga regularly helps reduce stress levels, which in turn supports your body’s ability to fight infections.
Some yoga poses also improve bleeding and lymphatic drainage, helping to remove toxins and deliver immune cells where they are needed. Simple poses such as baby pose, dog down and bridge, are great for beginners and can be done at home. If you are a full beginner, join yoga classes.
