It seems like North Georgia has landed in the middle of the cold and flu season with a bang and everyone around you is sick or has been sick with some sort of bug.  We all know to wash our hands as often as possible but what else can you do to help your body stay healthy?

Yoga is an excellent way to boost the immune system.  The immune system helps the body to fight off germs when they enter the body and it functions based on the health of the circulatory, digestive, and endocrine systems. When all of these systems are working correctly, the body has more resistance to diseases and infections.   Sun salutations are great for increasing the circulation and heating the body.  The bow pose can be used to aid with digestion and the shoulder stand does wonders to stimulate the endocrine system. If you have not done Yoga in the past, you might want to include it in your exercise program or add it back in if you have stopped your practice.  Namaste – Carmen
