An unsettled stomach can be quite a burden on your daily life. Yoga offers a gentle way to bring body and mind into harmony and alleviate complaints such as irritable bowel syndrome or gastrointestinal discomfort. The following basic poses will help you connect with your body, reduce stress, and create a sense of security. They are ideal for calming down and getting in the right frame of mind for your yoga practice.
Mountain Pose is the starting position for many yoga exercises and looks simple at first glance – yet it is full of strength and mindfulness. In this upright posture, you consciously straighten yourself, find stability, and feel the connection to the ground. Tadasana helps to improve posture, deepen the breath, and find a moment of calm – a perfect start to connect with yourself and your own body.
Child's Pose is a gentle, calming yoga position that offers you a sense of security and relief. In this pose, you can retreat, deepen your breath, and release tension in your back and abdominal area. Balasana is particularly well-suited for finding a moment of calm, reducing stress, and giving your body a moment of rest.
Shavasana, the final relaxation, is the crowning conclusion to every yoga session. In this pose, you lie relaxed on your back, giving your body the opportunity to process all the impressions from your practice. Shavasana helps to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and guide body and mind into a state of deep rest. Especially for those with irritable bowel syndrome, this conscious relaxation can be particularly soothing.
