10/3/11 - Video: Yoga for Digestion

by Zelinda Here's a fun little practice to help with digestion and elimination.  It focuses on poses that stimulate the bowels, such as Triangle pose, Side Angle pose, Warrior 1, Shoulderstand, and twists.  Of course, these poses have other benefits as well, such as stretching and strengthening the muscles (especially with the standing poses), rejuvenating the organs, releasing toxins, cultivating mental peacefulness, and promoting relaxation.

This practice is appropriate for beginners (with the exception of Shoulderstand, which is explained in the video).

I hope you'll try this video at home.  Let me know if you have any questions or comments - I'd love to hear from you!
