With cold and flu season upon us, many of us are looking for ways to take care of ourselves and strengthen our immune systems. Good rest, wholesome food, and lots of hand washing are all good practices during this time. There are also certain asanas that can be incorporated into your daily routine as a way to further your efforts against unwanted illness. The profound effects of yoga on body and mind help support our body’s natural defenses, hopefully leaving you with fewer days sick in bed.

Immune System Boosting Soup

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Ginger, minced
1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
2 heads Baby Bok Choy, roughly chopped
4 Cups Vegetable or Organic Chicken Stock
1 Cup firm Tofu, cubed
Heat olive oil over medium heat in medium size saucepan. Add ginger and garlic and sautee until fragrant, about a minute. Add bok choy and stir. Pour stock into saucepan and add tofu. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer until bok choy is tender, 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
