- If your anything like me and want relief from Ulcerative Colits, Crohn's, IBS or IBD symptoms and what to get on the road to remission then this is the sequence for you. This Yoga sequence is adapted from BKS Iyengar's series for Stomach aliments. Having had UC since I was in my mid twenties on and off till now I can 100% say having a 6 day a week yoga practice has kept my UC symptoms at bay with zero medication. I have also found that a daily dose of Probiotic and Metamucil are my dear friends if I'm having a flareup. ( I will link to them below) I hope this video finds you some relief, leave me a comment below and let me know what your thought. Peace and Love on your healing journey!

Hey Friends, let me know what you thought about this practice, did you find it helpful, have you tried the magical Metamucil yet : ) Sending healing and remission to you all! Peace and Love ~KIm
Thanks for this video! I’m really interested in trying natural ways to cure my UC as I’ve already failed a few biologics. Do you follow a specific diet that you find helps? What else do you do/use?
@@meg5222 Hi Meghan, I follow a lacto, pescatarian diet with as much fresh food as possible and as little processed food as I can. Also whenever in a flare I go straight to taking Metamucil till it calms down, just follow instructions on the bottle, I prefer the pill form and give it atleast a week to two weeks to work : ) Stay well ~KIm
Thank you very much i did this session following you. It was great .
My friend sent this to me after being diagnosed with my first and hopefully only episode of colitis. I've been an emotional wreck, worrying about my future, if I'll ever eat again, etc. But this practice was exactly what I needed to calm my mind, stay present, and take back some control. And the cramping does feel less after this! Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing Rachel, hope you get to where you want to be
Hi Rachel! Glad you felt better after doing this sequence! The two best things I’ve found to help during a flare are lots of yoga and Metamucil. ☺️Take good care! ✨Kim
Struggling with colitis at the moment and this sequence felt amazing, thank you!
So glad you felt good after practice! Not sure what your routine is but as I mentioned in the video notes my saving grace is Metamucil and lots of Yoga, if you haven't already get yourself some Metamucil in pill form (my fave) . : ) I'm a huge proponent of natural remedies! Feel free to reach back out if you have questions! Be well!! ~Kim
Peaceful Greetings, Thank you for this video! It is the perfect combination with variation for the entire body and focusing on digestion area. I was diagnosed with IBS at 30 but noticed serious digestive issues since my 20's and now I am 40. I find that high quality probiotics, almost daily yoga, proper hydration and a healthy microbiome feeding diet are the only way to thrive. flare-ups only happen when I do not follow my known protocols. I may have IBD at this point but will not take any of the medications the western trained doctors are pushing at me. No thanks. Have a peaceful day All. Love ~Rabiah
Love this!! So glad you have figured out what works for you, and glad you are enjoying this video ☺️Peace, Love & Wellness ~ Kim💜
It's been one week since I am doing this yoga for my mild colitis. This has worked wonders. Try it guys. MayB it will benefit you as well.
So glad to hear that!!! Stay well!! 💛
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I do this routine daily and it has tangibly improved my symptoms and quality of life. I am so grateful for you and this routine. Namaste
Hi Jeremy! That is so awesome to hear!! 👏🏼👏🏼 If you haven’t already be sure to include Metamucil to your diet, it’s a game changer! Peace ✨~Kim
Thank you for this. Im in the middle of a flare (my second one) and havent been able to find a way to relax. Normally I do a workout in the morning, but I hurt and don't have the energy to do one today. Thank you for the moment of peace. 🖤
Sorry to hear about a flare, they are the worst! Hopefully you're back to feeling like your self again! Stay well! ~Kim☺️
I am beyond grateful for you and this video. How this has made me feel is amazing. I’ve been in a terrible flare for weeks now and this is the absolute best I’ve felt
That is the best news!! 👏🏼👏🏼Hooefully you keep feeling good! Along with yoga, I also suggest and good probiotic and Metamucil! Stay well🙏🏼 ~Kim
Thank you so much for this. I've started the yoga exercises and looking forward to healing. I'm going to incorporate the prebiotic and Metamucil. I've switched to stonemill breads. And cut out dairy.
Thank you so much for this practice. It is particularly helpful for it to be shared by someone who understands the challenges of coping with Ulcerative Colitis and Chron's disease.
You are very welcome! I hope you begin to find some relief after doing this practice, getting on a good antibiotic and Metamucil pills. Take good care ~KIm

I am also suffered crohn's diseases
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2014. I tried this stretch formation for the first time today and I found it very beneficial. However, I went flying through the glass coffee table and smash it when attempting a handstand!
Always practice headstands by a wall of you’re just beginning. Or omit it all together 😊
Thank you I so need to do calm my colon! I loved this practice and the quote at the end!
Great!! So glad you enjoyed it! Stay well! 🙏🏼Kim
I really like it, I am having hard time for some of the poses. Suffering from Ibd. but I am not giving up.
Thank you!!
That’s great Eva, just do what you can do! You will reap the benefits as long as you are breathing deeply and doing your best! Be well! ✨Kim
Thank you for sharing, I have been struggling with colitis from stress from graduate school and it has been really hard to manage. This really helped me!
So glad this video is helping!! Try to practice some sort of Yoga daily and get your self some Metamucil it saved me multiple times!! Good Luck! -Namaste Kim

Actually I got gout arthritis and IBD for more than two years nothing help me in flaring up its gives me insecurities nd pain alot I hope this yoga Asana help me to overcome the flare-ups
Hi, I'm sorry to hear of what is going on with your health, I would start with a regular 3-6 day a week yoga practice and get yourself some Metamucil to take to help with the IBD. Metamucil gave me my life back, and whenever I big to see symptoms I begin to take it again. Take Care ~KIm
Thank you, lovely practice. Will try the metamucil too 😊
Great! Metamucil is my saving grace when I have a flareup : ) Stay well ~KIm
🙏
I loved this class! and/but would love even more if we stayed a little longer in each pose. I was only getting a couple breaths when you asked for 5. I got a lot of the class, but would love more time. You have a lovely voice and teaching style. thank you.
Hi Kimberly!
Thanks for the feedback, be well! ☺️🙏🏼💛Kim
You could also slow down the playback time so that you get a longer session
Hi friends thanks lots
Thank you too 😊✨Kim
I feel truly grateful for this video. Struggling really bad lately and I could feel the relief internally as I did your video. I’ll be a regular now. Thank you xx
So glad to hear you’re starting to feel some relief! 🙂Definitely get your self some Metamucil and a good probiotic! Take care! ~Kim ✨
What Food do you eat?? Please help me too
Thank you so much, this really helps :)
That's great to hear! Peace ~Kim
I get really lightheaded doing the first part of this but it does make my stomach and rest of my body feel better. I think I might just not be use to doing it but honestly not sure
Hi! Just take it slow, your body just may not be used to doing these types of movements, always feel free to pause the video and then resume when feeling better, it could also be your breathing, too much oxygen or deep breathing could cause lightheadedness, either way take it easy when needed. ☺️✨Kim
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊💜 Kim
This is a lovely practice ✨🙏🏻 see you soon friend 🤍
Thank you! : )
Thank you for sharing.
I've noticed that Crohn's been miss spelled in the title x
Wow how I never caught that is baffling! I will work on getting it fixed! Thank you!! 🙏🏼Kim
Phenomenal video. Thank you
Thanks Ryan! Be well!! 🙏🏼Kim
Thanks a lot❤
Thank you so much for this! Can you please share some ideas on pranayama practice and food habits for colitis patients? 🙏❤
Hi!
This is our pranayama playlist, you will find three great videos to try!

As for food, I try not to stress about what I eat as it just makes me underweight. I personally eat a fish and veggies diet. Try not to eat processed food and eat fresh organic everything when possible. I also eat lots of yogurt, kefir and a probiotic. Hope this helps! ✨-Kim
@@OceanVayuYoga Thanks a lot 👍🙏
Thbak you so much for this informative and clear video❤. I have a QUESTION: when is the best time to do this yoga practise ? Before or after breakfast/lunch/dinner ? Struggling with UC for more than 5 years as a teenager so this practice is very important for me to do
Hi! So glad you are enjoying this video! It’s always best to practice before eating. My suggestion is to wake up empty bowels, drink a little water then do your yoga practice. Thanks! 🙏🏼Be well! Kim
Iam surfing with crohn's disease with colostomy from 14 year now dr have done right side drain for pus can u help me which yoga or prnayam I will do pls help me out 🙏
HI There, sorry to hear, I would suggest either of my Ulcerative Colitis/Chrons videos for Yoga, as for pranayam I would suggest my nadi shodana video and breath of joy video : )
Hope that helps!! Good Luck
Namaste ~KIm
Is dairy bad for ulcerative colitis I've just been diagnosed and passing alot of blood should I take time out from work as I'm on the toilet alot 😪
Hi John, I do fine with dairy, I’ve actually found it doesn’t matter what I eat it matters more if I remember to breath 🤪The best things I have found that help are yoga and Metamucil. 😊Be well ~Kim
my suggestion wud be please avoid dairy products.. for some people it may not mattr much but for majority dairy products will cause problems for IBD. I have been off dairy since a year and I feel much better
It's great but i found It's too fast. If you could go slower please. Thank you.
hey m indian sufferng from chrohns deseases from last 5 month..m worried about it plzz suggest me diet..nd vl it heal my gut
Me too suffering from it.. it feels so bad to be helpless about yourself
HI, so sorry your suffering right now. What I have found is if I over analyze what I eat I do worse. So just try to eat a healthy well rounded diet. I just try to stay away from stimulants like coffee and alcohol and any junk food especially soda and only small amounts of sugar. Eating mostly fresh cooked vegetables, grains, rice, pasta, some seafood and dairy, but I do have a kid so it's not always easy to eat only fresh food : ) Biggest thing is to not stress about what you eat. I am a huge proponent of Metamucil if you can get yourself some I highly recommend it!! Good Luck ~KIm
@@tanishachadha5154 Hi Tanisha! read some of my other comments maybe some of my tips can benefit you : ) Get some Metamucil if you haven't already!! ~Kim
The first few poses look like Surya Namaskar
Yes!! That is exactly what they are! ☺️
@@OceanVayuYoga 😊
Hi! Thanks for this! Very helpful. Apologies for the long info. I've faced constipation issues since childhood, and occasionally heartburn, gas etc. Since Feb 2021 I've had pressure sensation and mild pain in my anus. It varies and occasionally,..it goes away totally and I don't feel it when asleep. The muscles feel relaxed when I go for urination and worse when I'm finding difficulty in urination(little retention problem) Lately I'm experiencing stools on the looser side (1 per day), even if I poop a day after. I'm in a mess. Any advice would be very welcome and appreciated!
HI Fatima,
Thanks for your comment, I am a firm beliver in the helaing property in adding extra fiber to your diet, and the easiest way to do that is by taking Metamucil, it will regulate you in which ever direction you need help with, constipation or diarrhea. : )Best of luck, give it a shot and play around with the dose till you get what works best for you. ~Kim
Hi Fatima, I had the same issue . I feel pressure for urinating in middle of night. I feel my poop is not Clearing well. With yoga , the urination issue is resolved. Hoping my pooping issue will be resolved soon. I am on a strict diet for constipation. Diet helps a lot .
@@jasobehera4205 Hi! Try Metamucil it is my go too!! I can't recommend it enough, give it a week or two to work it's magic : ) ~Kim
Hii I m suffering from ulcerative colitis and I m very upset I m suffering from sice 1 year and no treat ment in allopethy please help me 🙏❤️
@in desire hindi
HI, I'm so sorry to hear that! I know what it feals like to be in a flare up so I get it!! Do daily yoga and order yourself some Metamucil it will lesson your frequency and help you get into remission quickly!! Best of Luck!! -Kim
best treatment is only available in Planet Ayurveda.. Trust me
I am suffering from chrons disease from 2017 ...
Will it help me or not
A regular yoga routine along with a whole food diet and a fiber supplement will definitely help! Be well! 🙏🏼Kim
Hy, i would thank you so much if you Could answer for me please.
How often do you have flares and how long does it take to get remission once it starts?
And do you use meditation manifestations positive affirmations?
If you decide to answer or not I want to wish you all the best! Thanks
Hi, What I have come to realize is a lot of it depends on my mental state. If I am able to keep even keeled, not stress, or over analyze and just let things happen I do better and if I do have a flare it is very short lived. I do yoga everyday and try to swim most days which is very relaxing to me. Find what relaxes you and do lots of it!! Eat wholefoods, lots of fruit and vegetables and fish. The only manifestations I do are gratitude and reminding myself daily it's all going to workout and stressing doesn't help anything. ☺️ Be Well 💜 ~Kim
@@OceanVayuYogathanks, this is just the attitude I try to adopt 🙏
Thanku so much...is METAMUCIL a probiotic? I use VSL3 ...willing to try new probiotic...
Hi! No Metamucil is fiber, it’s used to bulk up your stool, so you won’t have as many bathroom trips! I think it’s magic 😀 vsl3 is a great probiotic to use, I like that and Visbiome. Take care ~ Kim 🦋
THANKU.. I LIVE IN ITALY DO U THINK I CAN FIND IT HERE?
Ma'am...I am diagnosed with Chron's disease. Though I am following this Yoga practice, any other asana will help me to heal. Kindly guide me. Thank you in advance.
Hi, we have another Crohn's video that you might find helpful, here is the link : ) ua-cam.com/video/qSXaXPKckLQ/v-deo.html. Be well ☺️Kim
I go to toilet 4-5 times a day n if i can't manage to go den i suffer from bloating...help please
Practice yoga regularly, eat a whole food diet and take a fiber supplement, and that should help! 🙏🏼Kim
Hi! I am sure you're familiar with Ayurvedic medicine right? I can tell you what works for me, if you're still having this trouble because I was dealing with ulcerative colitis/crohn's disease with fistula since 2005 running to bathroom 6-10 times per day, but now its controlled with Prayer, some medicine. Also just started yoga from Kim on this channel.
I started with Chiruvilwadi kashayam from Kerala, that actually helped me a lot with my fistula problems also helped me to heal my guts and took mesalamine 3.6g. Per day. Both of these have helped me so much. Again that's what worked for me. Hopefully this will give you some ideas. Take care! God bless!
I'm a beginner and could not keep up, and it did not feel gentle to me. Maybe I'll come back when I gain a bit more experience.
Thanks for your feed back 😊Perhaps I should make a gentler version.
🙏🏼Kim
Madam Can this yoga do with stomach ulcers and leftside pain of navel patients let me know madam i request you because i have been suffering from one year doctor done endoscopy they said stomach erosions present in antrum but my symptoms are pain in left side of the navel can i do this yoga or not plz tell me i request you i hope you will give a reply to me.
Yes, start out real slow and gentle and see how you feel I think you will enjoy it and benefit from it. 💜Be well! Kim
Hi mam ......plz reply me ....I have uc from past 5 years .....is Ulcerative colitis is any dengerous to life ???? ......
No it won’t kill you 😊
Exercise , eat real food, do yoga and eat lots of fiber and probiotics. ✨Kim
I am currently in a severe stage of Crohn's disease (even though I feel good). Can this heal my GI tract? I am running out of options and feeling quite hopeless.
HI Thanks for your comment! So Yoga as a daily practice will DEF. help your GI tract, as well as meditation, a decent diet and my saving grace is Metamucil! When I am in a severe Colitis flare I work my up to 7 Metamucil pills three times a day with two full glasses of water each time. Not only does it stop frequent bathroom trips it will slowly put you into remission, as which point slowly removing one pill at a time, wean your self off of it. Hope this helps! Feel free to message me any other questions!! Namaste
~Kim
@@OceanVayuYoga Oh, thank you so much for your thorough answer. ❤️ I will try out what you suggested. Is Metamucil safe to use then? :)
@@tatjana1707 Yes!! Metamucil is very safe to use and is the only thing that has 100% helped me!! Get some today!! ~KIm
@@OceanVayuYoga I sure will... Thank you for being so kind and helpful ❤️❤️❤️
@@tatjana1707 No problem stay well! ~Kim
How long can metamucil be taken? Is it safe in the long term?
Hi! Yes it is totally safe, it is just fiber, all natural, be sure to get just Psyllium Husk, with no additives. Be well! Kim
I inhale downward & exhale upward
Is it correct?
Any conscious breathing is good! But I’d suggest Inhaling when moving upward and exhaling when moving downward. 🙂Thanks! Kim
I have just got diagnosed do you guys follow any diet?
The best thing is to eat a whole food diet and to eliminate packaged processed foods as much as possible. I also take a probiotic, fiber supplement, and eat yogurt and kefir.
Be well!
Kim✨
Yea yoga helps but whats your diet??
Hi! I try to eat as many whole foods as possible and minimize overly processed food. However i’ve noticed when I obsess on what I’m eating, I end up loosing weight and feeling worse, the stress from over analyzing food doesn’t help. Just eat real food 😊
@@OceanVayuYoga do you take any medecine??
I am doing low fodmap but still getting flare ups. Losing hope.
When can we do this yoga after lapratomy right hemicolectomy???
Hi there, always ask your Dr. first when you are able to start back up with your Yoga practice. Once you know if it's ok, start off gently doing any Yoga practice, never pushing yourself too much. Take good care 🙏 Kim
@@OceanVayuYoga thank you for your reply. I had surgery in July 2023, now it has been nine months and no issues so far. Can I now proceed with your exercises? Will it work for Chrons?
Any suggestions on foods to help
The best thing for your body is whole foods, avoid packaged and processed foods. A little is ok but best to eat real food. Thanks! Be well! Kim ✨
Can colitis be permanently cured with yoga?
Hi, I think colitis can be put into remission with a combination of yoga, diet, exercise, pranayama and my go to Metamucil! ☺️✨~Kim
Is this good for ibd ?
Yes, any mindful movement would be great for IBD. Also be sure to be eating a wholefood diet with lots of fiber. I also take a metamucil supplement like this one. amzn.to/3K29O9j Be well! ~Kim ☺️
What food do you eat???
I try to eat lots of real food, and stay away from processed food (although it's hard) lots of fruit and vegetables and fish. I also rely on adding lots of probiotics and fiber either with food or with supplements I will link to. ☺️ Be well! ~Kim
