Back for more LYMPHATIC LOVE 💖 this time integrating Manual Lymphatic Drainage with some Muscle Pump movements of the Neck, arms and trunk, and Deep Breathing! This is a great quick sequence to get the lymph moving after being sedentary for a while. Combine with the lower body sequence from the last video & you have a good quick lymphatic routine! And some easy components to add to your yoga practice in the winter! 😊 #lymphaticdrainage #lymphaticsystem #lymph #certifiedlymphedematherapist #yogatherapist #yogaforthelymphaticsystem #yogaforimmunefunction #lauragyoga #yogavideo #musclepump #theforgottensystem (at Linwood, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ttzqRnoKP/?igshid=67qdx50p1g9t

The LYMPHATIC SYSTEM does not have an internal pump (like the way the heart moves our blood) it relies on MOVEMENT to create a "muscle pump" effect. This comes from the movement of the diaphragm in the trunk ( deep breathing) and when we contract/relax muscles in the body (like when we walk) - here are some yoga specific movement patterns that activate the muscle pump in the lower body: first clear the lymph nodes at the groin crease and then we use movement + breath to mobilize fluid 😁 #lymphaticdrainage #lymphaticsystem #inguinallymphnodes #lymphedema #certifiedlymphedematherapist #cdt #yogaforimmunefunction #yogaforthelymphaticsystem #lymphaticyoga #lauragyoga #lauragoellneryoga #yogafocus (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6QvOxdnPh6/?igshid=t2d781nv7v0s

More Lymphatic LOVE 💖 working the arm pit (axillary lymph nodes) with Manual Lymphatic Drainage and then working the Muscle Pump effect with some shoulder & neck Range of Motion.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage: the short version- this is my go to technique as soon as i start to feel a scratchy throat or a sniffle- it helps your immune system to get in and fight off whatever is trying to make you sick...💥GENTLE circles starting above the collar bones, moving up the neck, under the ear/jaw, in front/behind the ear then reverse and work your way back down💥...repeat several times throughout the day...combine that with deep breathing, some time spent relaxing & a good night of sleep and you just might avoid an annoying cold 😁 yay Lymphatic System! 💪@pwfin this is for you! 💖 #selfcare #lymphaticdrainage #lymphaticsystem #yogafocus #dontgetsick #mld #lauragyoga #lauragoellneryoga #certifiedlymphedematherapist #clt #yogaforimmunefunction #boostyourimmunesystem (at Linwood, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6JneVLniRo/?igshid=1un7j9cb91q9y
