Yoga Flow to follow along
Gentle yoga for your belly - Flow to harmonize your core
Release tension and find your way back to balance. Use targeted exercises to bring calm to your belly.
Yoga is a valuable support for gastrointestinal complaints. This is even scientifically proven. That is why yoga is also recommended in medical treatment guidelines for irritable bowel syndrome .
Yoga can have these positive effects:
-
Stress relief: Gentle yoga exercises activate the parasympathetic nervous system – our "rest-and-digest" nerve – and bring the body and mind into a relaxed state.
-
Massage for digestion: Certain twisting postures or abdominal exercises can gently stimulate the intestines and boost digestion.
-
Conscious breathing: Deep belly breathing calms the nervous system and can relieve bloating & cramps.
-
Body awareness: Yoga helps you to better sense your body's signals – and to treat yourself with more mindfulness.
Strengthen your inner balance with this flow and consciously connect with your belly.
