Boost Your Immune System

Introduction
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.

Raquel Jordan
It was in 2002, while studying musical theatre in NYC, that the revolutionary seedlings of Yoga where first planted for Raquel. Every week her vocal coach would have her drop into cat/ cow while warming up her voice. She would say, “accessing the deeper dimensions of the body was the key to unlocking the voice inside”. This was only the beginning…Since then, she has gone on to explore many lineages and manifestations from the Yogic tradition. Living in New York and California has given her the opportunity to study and work with some of the world’s leading Yoga teachers. Meditation is a daily practice and an indispensable factor to the quality of her life. She received her 200 hr through YogaWorks in 2013, under the tutelage of Joan Hyman and Carmen Fitzgibbon. Her certification in Trauma Informed Yoga was led by Hala Khouri and Kyra Haglund, and her Restorative certification was transferred via Jillian Pransky.
