Presented by Activia, this gentle and effective yoga flow is designed to stimulate digestion. Led by yoga and fitness instructor Frances Flores, these movements will tap into the brain-gut connection in order to relax and relieve. For more context, yoga has been touted for years as a tool to improve digestive problems, from IBS to constipation. Thanks to its ability to tap into the parasympathetic nervous system, yoga poses can actually ignite the body’s “rest and digest” processes, per the Canadian Digestive Health foundation. In this flow, you can expect twists (to help food move through the digestive system), deep breathing (for stress relief), and stretching (to increase blood flow to certain organs). Throughout the session, Flores will encourage you to listen to your body for any discomfort. Class member Paris Nicole has you covered with modified options.
