Boost Your Immune System: There is a very real relationship between chronic stress and the lowering of one's immune system. Your endocrine system is responsible for this as it releases hormones like, cortisol ("stress" hormone) and oxytocin (the "love" hormone). If everyday stresses are not managed or countered they can often lead to a cold, flu and in some cases, a more serious health issue. Experts agree, if you where to incorporate more of these restorative postures into your yoga practice, you will have much less frequency of illness to occur in your body. Please note: If you have a flu or active fever it is probably best you rest completely and refrain from these videos until your fever is gone. If you have a lot of phlegm or a stuffed up nose, "leftovers" from your cold or flu, you may want to prop your head + lungs higher during the lying down postures. *** When your head is below your heart it will encourage a lot of that drainage to accumulate in the lungs/ nasal passages and that can sometimes be too much when the drainage is still dense and has less of a water consistency.
