How Yoga Can Boost Your Immune System

Did you know that regular yoga practice can strengthen your immune system? By reducing stress, improving circulation, and enhancing lymphatic flow, yoga supports your body’s natural defenses. At PŌZEN, we incorporate techniques that promote overall wellness, including immunity.

  • Reduces Stress: Lower cortisol levels help your immune system function more effectively.

  • Improves Circulation: Yoga increases blood flow, delivering nutrients to your cells and tissues.
