The LYMPHATIC SYSTEM does not have an internal pump (like the way the heart moves our blood) it relies on MOVEMENT to create a "muscle pump" effect. This comes from the movement of the diaphragm in the trunk ( deep breathing) and when we contract/relax muscles in the body (like when we walk) - here are some yoga specific movement patterns that activate the muscle pump in the lower body: first clear the lymph nodes at the groin crease and then we use movement + breath to mobilize fluid 😁 #lymphaticdrainage #lymphaticsystem #inguinallymphnodes #lymphedema #certifiedlymphedematherapist #cdt #yogaforimmunefunction #yogaforthelymphaticsystem #lymphaticyoga #lauragyoga #lauragoellneryoga #yogafocus (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6QvOxdnPh6/?igshid=t2d781nv7v0s
