Restorative Yoga Charmhaven Digestion Series February 2021

Welcome to Restorative Yoga for Digestion. If you experience digestive problems you know that tummy troubles are not fun.

Digestive health is crucial to the body’s overall wellbeing. The digestive system converts food into the energy our body uses for growth, maintenance and repair.

As we age our digestive system can begin to slow down and we can experience discomforts such as constipation, flatulence, heart burn, bloating, and indigestion.

Lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, sleep, medication and disease can also contribute to digestive problems.

Stress can be another cause of digestive problems. When we are stressed our sympathetic nervous system is activated and we are in fight, flight or freeze state. In this state our body, including our digestive tract, is tense and tight.

If left unmanaged, poor digestion could intensify with time making you constantly uncomfortable, irritable, becoming less social and more isolated.

WHAT IS RESTORATIVE YOGA:

Restorative Yoga is a very gentle and nurturing practice that helps to bring the body into the rest and digest state by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. In this relaxed state the body is able to let go of stress, tension and tightness so it can begin to restore.

The restorative poses help to massage the digestive organs, increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery and encouraging flow through the digestive tract.
