"As many longtime yogis can attest, asana practice provides a gentle,
natural means of supporting the immune system on a day-to-day basis—, no
matter how hectic your schedule might be. Yoga helps lower stress
hormones that compromise the immune system, while also conditioning the
lungs and respiratory tract, stimulating the lymphatic system to oust
toxins from the body, and bringing oxygenated blood to the various
organs to ensure their optimal function. “Yoga is unlike other forms of
exercise that focus only on certain parts of the body,” says Kathleen
Fry, M.D., president of the American Holistic Medicine Association in
Scottsdale, Arizona. “Yoga works on everything.”"
