October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this class is a fundraising event for the non-profit organization Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) and their Be Healthy, Get Active campaign. All proceeds will be donated to B4BC.
Breast health, like all bodily health, is intrinsically connected with the lymphatic system. Lymphatics are essentially the cleaning crew of the body, working to drain and remove excess fluids, toxic and harmful cells, and foreign bodies from within us. Movement helps the lymphatic system to do its protective job.
Moving the body through a physical yoga practice can help the lymphatic system to pump lymph across the body. This in turn helps to purify and cleanse the breast tissue as needed. This is why yoga is recognized as an excellent tool to help optimize and maintain breast health. This class is appropriate for all levels.
