Flow Foundations: Lymphatic Breast Health & Body Literacy
Our breasts are connected to the wider systems of the body in ways many of us were never taught to understand. In this class, clinical herbalist, functional nutritionist, and midwife Anja Robinson explores the anatomy and physiology of the breasts and lymphatic system, and their relationship to immune function, hormonal health, and overall well-being.
You'll learn how the lymphatic system works, what supports lymphatic flow, and why breast care deserves a place in our everyday health practices. Anja explores the relationship between lymphatic circulation and the menstrual cycle, common signs of breast and lymphatic changes, and practical ways to support the body through movement, breath, hydration, and self-massage.
The class also includes a practical introduction to self breast massage, with a focus on developing body awareness, understanding breast tissue, and building a more connected relationship with your body.
In this class, you'll explore:
The anatomy and physiology of the breasts and lymphatic system
How the lymphatic and immune systems work together
The relationship between lymphatic health, hormonal balance, and the menstrual cycle
Everyday habits that support lymphatic circulation
How to approach breast self-massage and become more familiar with your own breast tissue
