I just did two of your yoga videos back to back for constipation and it’s only been 25 min and I feel relief already !!! I was in pain for 7 hours at work and even just sitting in the car ride home, thank you thank you !!! You might have just gave me my yoga spark back ❤
I gotta admit didn’t believe it can help once I started because I tried all types of tees, fiber, medicines without success for constipation and wow IT DID HELP! Slowly but helped!!! I’ll repeat it tomorrow thanks
Thanks so much! I have been suffering from chronic constipation recently and for years. Tried some of your exercises and it has helped with bowel movement. I will incorporate these exercises in the morning to start my day.
Its usually because this type of exercise can relax and open the pelvic floor, most medicines just change the consistency of stool and don’t do anything to help the muscles work and open
I've been constipated for several months because of GERD, and i've been meeting my doctor. He said my bowel is moving slow even though I ate fiber, vegetable, and fruit, they didnt work well. My poop routine is always once a week (with medicine) 😢. It bothers me so much. After doing this yoga, i feel i can release all gas in my stomach without pain or bad feelings. Thank you Melisa you help a lot. I hope I can do my daily routine like before after consistently practicing your Yoga move ❤️
Really great sequence! I would have preferred it a little slower. I personally found it difficult to focus on my breath because of the quick movement. Otherwise, it was great!
@@DrMelissaOleson I agree! I loved this class...The movements feel so good to gently wake up in my stiff body in the morning. And it did it's job! But I paused this video multiple times to add more reps and holds and really sink in. I'd love a 20-30 min version of this!
Nov. 5th, 2023 @ 8:05 pm - I have been using your video for 5 days and it has really helped me. After my first session I could hear my digestive system gurgling and it has gurgled after every other session. I will continue to use your video. I will look into your other ones. I have subscribed. Thank you!
I can't express how tankful I am that I could your page. I was suffering from a MASSIVE IC flare that was ruining my life. Ended up in the hospital back to back with intense pain, urgency, frequency and was unable to sleep do to nocturia. I have been doing 3 of your video watch day for about 45 days and i am 90% better along with the medications I take. Thank you Thank you Thank you Dr Melissa for helping to give me my life back
Your videos are helping me so much! Seriously changing my life! I have severe gastroparesis and since following along to your videos I have been more regular and it helps everytime if I have trapped gas. Thank you sooo much!
Thank you sooo much for sharing! I absolutely LOVE hearing that you found the videos helpful. You just made my day! Keep up the fabulous work we so appreciate your support💗
Doc it fucking worked!! I had no bowel movement for the past week, I’m constantly constipated and I was so worried, I even felt like my colon stopped signaling to my brain to create the urge to shit. I did 3 of your videos and around 8 hours later I went to the bathroom. You couldn’t imagine the joy I felt feeling the shit coming out of my ass I literally shrieked because of excitement. To those struggling I recommend also trying probiotics since that worked best for me, I also drank half a milk carton since I was trying to add more liquids to my body to soften the stool and also because I’ve never drunk 8 cups of water before(which led to my constant constipation)and you should add more liquid to your body as well. Avoid eating fried or processed food. I started doing the things above(including yoga vids from doc) the night before and was able to shit exactly a day later. If none of these things work for you in 1-2 days, seek help from medical professionals even when it sounds embarrassing.Also if you don’t feel the urge to shit like I did it’s probably because you’re stressed, so I tried meditating for 90 mins(+ the things above) after I finished 4 stressful school projects during the week and I definitely felt the urge again. Good luck!
Absolutely, you got it! Glad you enjoyed this class and we will add more like this! You might also like this class in the meantime ua-cam.com/video/xTjKuAU0ZI0/v-deo.html
So glad you liked this one! We will add some more like it to our filming list! We do have some other constipation videos on the channel in the mean time. 💕
I just tried this Yoga exercise, and I can already feel my bowels starting to move. As a person who has slow motility this was a very helpful yoga to add to my routine
Awesome, glad you enjoyed this video! We also have several other videos for constipation on our channel to that you might like. Keep up the great work!
I just found your channel and have watched some videos which I find so helpful! I have prolapse, but didn't have many symptoms until a recent flare up. I'm used to exercising quite intensely, with HITT and dumbell workouts, but am having to be quite careful now. It is so discouraging that despite trying to implement good posture, being tuned into my pelvic floor and performing exercises very carefully, I am progressing so slowly. One day an exercise routine is helpful for me and another day the same routine causes more symptoms. The last few days I may have discovered that power yoga helps release some of my pelvic floor tension, as it incorporates elongation and might help counteract the tension that comes with contracting my muscles and pelvic floor. But I am concerned if I am doing everything correctly. I know I should relax the pelvic floor while lowering into a squat or lung, and then contract while breathing out upon rising, however what about during transitions from one pose to another? Or while holding a pose (sumo squat, deep lung)? Or pulsing while in a deep squat? Should I be contracting my pelvis floor at these times? And how do I safely perform cardio workouts or HITT workouts? Even if they are low impact I'm not always sure if I should be holding a pelvic lift or relaxing my pelvic floor, especially during pulsing movements or quick movements. If you have any tips for me, or would like to do any videos on any of these concerns I have, I would greatly appreciate it. I am seeing a physical therapist, but it is hard to cover everything in so few sessions. Thank you!!!
I don't know your age but I found that after a certain age high-intensity workouts just weren't for me anymore. I mean, I was mid push-up with the timer going, and I just collapsed and cried. I was 100% burned out on exercise. It took me months to do more than walking and easy yoga before I found my balance again. Now I can run and do power yoga but no more hardcore workouts for me. If I lunge, I take my time. Better for my aging body and mind! Also there is no "perfect" way to breathe. Every body is different. During transitions, do what comes naturally, listen to your body. I hope that helps.
Thank you! Digestive upset is not something that I struggle with (until I started taking fish oil for my brains-even after 4 days off of it I’m still v uncomfortable) so I’ve just been googling like mad, half desperate for relief. Then I took some deep (kind of) breaths and remembered yoga has provided solutions for so so many things in my 8 year practice, so here we are. 🙏 I appreciate you. Is it weird to consider that folks may be saying “thank you doc Melissa!” when they’re pooping? Service comes in all forms. 🤭
I can feel the improvement of my bowel movement and my flexibility, i can't do malasana before i started now i can do it without hesitation or feeling pain
This is a great yoga but I would need the same exercice with a slower pace one in each pose. Like I couldn't follow the breath because my mind is still processing with the position change but it's a good exercice thank you ❤
Thank you for your feedback! I will add a constipation video at a slower pace to our filming list. You might like this one in the meantime that goes a little slower ua-cam.com/video/cOxuttTc9IQ/v-deo.html Keep up the great work!
Thank you again for another amazing video! Do you have any for night time? bed time wind down/low back help? I cant thank you enough for your techniques and flow. I've never learned reach through pigeon until today!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed this video. Yes I have a few night time classes here is one of them ua-cam.com/video/WsWG-QgiN3k/v-deo.html there are a few other you can find on my channel 💕
Great moves though I found a couple of the moves and the instructions a bit too fast for me . I would also like it a few minutes longer. I did however enjoy it and will definitely come back to it. Thank you
Hi Tracy & Welcome! I do not have any specifically on inguinal hernia's (I will add that to my list of filming) Breathing is a really good place to start & some of the pelvic floor relaxation videos. Those work on similar areas with the breathing.
We have lots of videos on our channel that are knee friendly and for knee pain. We also have lots of other constipation videos like this one ua-cam.com/video/cOxuttTc9IQ/v-deo.html
Thank you for joining! Let me know below if you enjoyed this video or what you would like to see in future videos
Didn’t work this time but will work at it. More videos please and thank you.

Yes soooo amazing! Way to go! Glad you found this helpful.
I can confirm this 100% works! Thank you so much. Definitely recommend to anyone. Will be doing the routine again.
I’ve been doing yoga for years but find I need different more targeted movements now and your videos are exactly what I need.
So glad you are finding them helpful Kristen! Keep up the good work!

Keep practising you got this !
@@DrMelissaOleson I will ..thank you
@@lieannlaverne5233 you're welcome! The breathing will get easier
Love it. Thank you. You're instructions are very clear so I don't have to look at the screen all the time!
Try yoga with Adrienne. She is very helpful with beginners and slows it down a bit.
Hi, I am just starting with your videos, and giving them a try. I am wondering if you have any video ideas for help with Inguinal hernia? Thanks

Welp, that didn't help at all.
Keep trying, sometimes it takes a few go's !

@Dr. Melissa Oleson thankfully stomach fine now. I do have a sprained calf and hamstring from the yoga though 🤣
