Course overview
Course description
This course is perfect for anyone looking to improve their digestive health through the practice of yoga. Suitable for participants of all levels who can comfortably get up and down from the floor, it emphasizes safe and attentive practices tailored to individual needs. You will learn to connect with your breath to create a calm, focused state as you engage in movements designed to support and stimulate your digestive organs.
The course includes a variety of gentle postures, twists, and forward bends that are known to aid digestion and relieve digestive discomfort. Breathing techniques and guided relaxation will complement these physical practices, helping to reduce stress and promote a healthy digestive system. Emphasis is placed on practicing a balanced range of movements to support digestive health and overall well-being.
Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to become more aware of how your body feels during these practices, moving with care and attention. This awareness will help you identify which practices are most beneficial for you, fostering confidence in your ability to practice independently.
By the end of the course, you will be equipped to create a personalized yoga routine that supports and enhances your digestive health. This foundational course can also serve as a stepping stone to more advanced practices focused on holistic well-being.
