One of the practices I use to bring joy into my ow One of the practices I use to bring joy into my own life is to read something inspiring every morning. It might be poetry, a spiritual text, or a novel that speaks to my heart. Right now I’m reading Ease of Being by Jean Klein. I am often looking for new ways to explain why is is so important to become aware of what is going on in the body. I love this quote. “Come to know the body through listening to it, for the body is in you, you are not in it. The body is a case history, so one must give it a chance to reveal itself.” #yogatherapy #yogatherapist #yogainspiration #jeanklein #easeofbeing
IBS can cause cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, IBS can cause cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Often a chronic condition, yoga therapy can be a great adjunct to professional treatments. As a yoga therapist, I help people with IBS using movement, breathing, and/or meditation practices. Why and how does yoga therapy help? We almost always start by regulating the breath. This could be a movement practice and/or a stand alone breath practice. This may relieve symptoms of IBS and bring more clarity and calm to our lives. There are also certain yoga postures that help. In some cases, it is more than just doing the poses. It involves cultivating awareness of how our body reacts to yoga and the world around us. Modifying our activities can sooth the system and increase quality of life. Meditation practices can be useful too. By expanding our awareness we become in touch with our own wisdom and see what changes we need to make in our lives to feel better. evolveyogatherapystudio.com #ibs #irritablebowelsyndrome #yogatherapy #yogatherapist #stomachache #yogachapelhill
