Slow Flow Digestion Yoga

About this class

This is one of the older MerryBody classes. For higher quality sound and video select a newer class.  Oh hello delicious yoga flow. During this session we spend all the time rolling around on the floor, it’s seriously so good. We’ve designed it to really encourage that digestion system to get going! Adding (NICE) pressure to the ascending and descending colon promotes the movement of any waste that’s ready to be eliminated. Do this before bed and reach a super intense bliss level of goodness.

Alignment notes

Remember it’s all about taking it at your own pace. This flow is super slow, take it at your own pace. You can find a subtle stretch or an intense stretch, depending on how much you squeeze your knee in for gas releasing pose (Pawanmuktasana) and happy baby pose (Ananda Balasana). For bridge pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana), be sure to set it up right before you lift your butt. Lay on your back, soles of the feet flat on the Earth, knees hip-width apart. Take your arms long by your sides, you should be able to just tickle your heels with your fingertips. Before you raise the butt up toward the sky, squeeze your butt, press the soles of the feet into the Earth and THEN lift off one vertebra at a time. This is a great way to end your day! Prepare for bliss town!
