“Since veins, unlike arteries, can’t push blood along, they depend on the movement of adjacent areas of the body, such as happens in asana practice, to move blood back from the periphery to the center...Like veins, lymphatic vessels lack the muscles in their walls that arteries use to propel blood. When you contract and stretch muscles, move organs around, and come in and out of yoga postures, lymph flow improves and with it lymphatic system function.” -Dr. Timothy McCall (Thanks Janet Watts!)
