Lymphatic Yoga Immersion with Richard Gartner

Our lymph system takes out the trash, helps defend against invaders, balances our fluids, and nourishes our entire system. It’s an integral part of our digestive, circulatory, and immune systems. So what exactly is it?

Join Richard for an afternoon learning about the lymphatic system and its important role in our health and well-being. Through discussion, slides, and experiential practice, we’ll explore the purpose and anatomy of this fascinating system.

We’ll practice a variety of movement techniques designed to encourage lymphatic flow, including breathwork, vinyasa, self-massage, and wringing out our connective tissues. The workshop is accessible to all levels of ability and invites curiosity, attention, and nuance.
Yoga Alliance members receive 5.5 hours CEC.
