Yoga can work wonders for your digestive system in all kinds of ways! Here are a few key takeaways from today's digestive yoga workout.
- Yoga aids digestion by reducing stress, increasing circulation, and promoting movement throughout your gastrointestinal tract.
- Specific poses like the seated twist, supine twist, and cat-cow can directly help digestion and relieve the discomforts of bloating.
- The deep breathing you do during these movements gives your organs a gentle massage, promoting improved gut function.
- For people with digestive disorders like IBS, or inflammatory bowel diseases, yoga can help manage symptoms and help reduce the need for medical and pharmaceutical interventions.
- A regular yoga practice supports digestion, relieves uncomfortable symptoms, and contributes to better gut health and wellbeing overall.
With all these great digestion benefits, it's definitely worth trying some yoga! Your belly will thank you!
Much Love,
