Doing yoga after reading about the lymphatic system made me realize a major overlooked positive factor is in supporting the lymphatic system. When arms/legs/belly go up, then the lymph follows gravity. At the same time, the unusual muscle combinations used make sure the lymph is pushed forward in all places, not just selectively. Both lead to a much better lymphatic activity leading to better health in the yoga practitioner.

I have been stretching daily before bed for years now. I made it as important as brushing my teeth, and have found great pleasure in doing so! I've paired that habit with listening to music with all artificial light turned off, and it's helped greatly with preparing me to sleep.

Rad info, thank you for taking the time. 🙏🤘

I was just considering starting stretching regularly and Andrew has dropped this video. woohoo.

As a child I studied dance. As I got older and took less dance classes, I transitioned into yoga. Now at 44 the yoga benefits that I thought were so important like, my figure, now prove to helped in different areas. Pain tolerance, I had 4 children with no pain meds because I understood how to surrender to pain, calmness in parenting and my job. Would recommend yin yoga. Very good for the fascia.

Thank you Doc 🤝

Been stretching every day for about 5 months now and it's game changing. Has helped a lot with back pain etc as well as just general injury avoidance and performance in my sports.
