Spring officially starts on March 21st during the spring equinox. This represents the rebirth of all life on earth. It's as if nature was asleep and has just woken up by giving birth to a plethora of flowers, birds, insects, and animals.
During this time the immune system is more compromised than normal and some of us may experience allergies. The question is, “How can Yogic technology help us to cope with all of these changes?”
There are many things that you can do to improve your immune system during seasonal changes. In fact, this newsletter is focused on these very issues. We are going to discuss the many different vitamins and minerals you can take to strengthen your immune system as well as how to keep allergies under control. However, as many doctors will agree, it is best to detox the body first in order to obtain optimum results. This is why we’ve included recommended detox methods in this section. We will also include a Yoga set and a meditation to strengthen the immune system which can be done in the convenience of your own home.
With all this Yogic technology we want to be able to share the tools for a better more meaningful and fulfilled life.

Breath Meditation to Strengthen the Mind & Immune System
Sit in a cross-legged position. Bend the left arm at the elbow and bring the left palm to shoulder level with the hand in Surya mudra (thumb and ring finger touching). Next, bend the right arm at the elbow and make a fist with the hand. Note that you must keep the index finger pointing straight up while closing the right nostril with it.
Do breath of fire* through the left nostril. The rhythm is fast and you can mentally chant the mantra SAT NAM, WHA HE GURU *, or 3 beats per second. Make sure you really pump the navel!
