This 60 minute yin yoga class is for digestion. Do you experience acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, or constipation? Maybe you’ve tried drinking mint and ginger tea, taking laxatives and antacids. Well in the rest of this video I am going to take you through a yin yoga class that will stimulate the stomach and spleen meridian to help you absorb the nutrients from your food and then move them along your digestive tract. This yin yoga sequence will stimulate your stomach and spleen meridian to help you receive nourishment from your food and move it along your digestive tract.
You may notice an imbalance in your stomach meridian system if you have digestive and stomach problems from abdominal pain, bloating, or fluid retention. Your spleen is your primary organ for digestion, it sits just behind your stomach on the left side, underneath your diaphragm. When your spleen organ is balanced you will experience a good appetite, strong digestion and vibrant energy. When your spleen energy is weak you may experience bloating, reflux, fatigue, diarrhea, and poor appetite.

I'm writing to ask whether this typw of yoga would be good for me after 2 major abdominal surgeries in 6 months. The first was for colon re sectioning in July, 2018 due to diverticulitis. The second, December 12, 2018, was due to an infected hernia mesh which was causing my incision from the colon re section not heal. I had to wear a wound vac for 4 months and I am finally going to be infection free and wound free soon. I want to do yoga to aid in healing as well as to put me on the path to better digestive health going forward. I'm 49 years old, and relatively healthy with the exception of my abdominal and intestinal troubles this past year. I just don't want to do anything that will be harmful after such major abdominal surgeries. Are these poses gentle enough for someone to practice after the abdominal and intestinal trauma I've explained above? I am a beginner. Thank you for any insight.
I completely understand and you're absolutely right to ask but you need to ask your medical doctor what exercises you can do for recovery, you can even share the video with them and see what they think.
I am resting in a sea of nourishment 🙏🏼

I am resting in a sea 🌊 of nourishment 😊 I love this one! It is so calming. I wonder if it would help my digestion if I did this a few times a week. I think I will try that. I have Multiple Sclerosis so my digestive nerves don’t function properly. My hope is to rebalance my nerves. 🙏
let me know if it helps Suzanne :)
i m resting in a sea of nourishment! thank you!
