FILLING

The Oxford Hotel — Minnesota Ballroom
Limited Capacity filling up

Ever wonder how yoga can support cognitive function? Perhaps you’ve sensed it already and wondered how it works, or maybe you’re looking to get more out of your practice to support your brain? This class looks at how your glymphatic system, the lymphatic or waste clearance system in your brain, supports brain health and how yoga can support that.

We’ll start with a short lecture then we'll look at practices supported by both scientific research & clinical experience to enhance the glymphatic clearance system in the brain.

This will be an all-levels practice for those with a basic understanding of yoga.

No props needed but block & blanket would be great if available.
