Poses for Feeling Under the Weather

My Intention for the Day: Take Care of Myself

Recovering from being sick can be tough, but there are some easy yoga poses that can help! Yoga can assist you in increasing circulation and breathing, clearing the sinuses, relaxing the mind and internal organs, and releasing tension. This will make the symptoms of a cold feel less acute so you can feel a little less under the weather! While doing yoga poses when you're feeling sick, it is important to feel comfortable. This can be done by modifying poses you might ordinarily do, like a bridge pose, by supporting yourself with blankets or padding. It's also important not to over-exert yourself, since you're doing yoga to help yourself feel better, not to add any more stress to your body. For this reason, it's a good idea to avoid difficult poses, but instead focus on poses that are simple and relaxing.

Here's a link to some great poses for when you're trying to feel better! :)
