Sequence to Boost Your Immunity

To boost your immunity focus on opening your chest, armpits, and hips.  Get your head down as often and as long as possible.  If you are running fever, you should just rest.

Most of these poses can be found on the Yoga Journal website.  See "My Favorite Yoga Links" for the web address.
