“Epithelial cells cover the outer surface of the internal organs and the body. Epithelial cells play a role in protecting the body from pathogens and as such are linked to the immune system. COPD causes an inflammatory response which triggers a response called hyperplasia.“
“It Is thought that the inflammatory response in epithelial cells can affect the circadian clock at a cellular level.“
This course provides the opportunity to dive deeply into the science of pranayama, physiologically, philosophically and therapeutically.
SECOND TO NONE
“Martin’s teacher training is second to none, this is my second teacher training course with Martin and I would not go anywhere else. His teaching method is knowledgeable and invites you to drill down further into our lesson topics in order to validate your conclusions, I leave every lesson with the feeling that I have taken away something new with me.” Elaine.
