Digestive problems are widespread. About 8% of the French population reportedly suffers from them, and the resulting discomfort causes fatigue and overall health problems. Research has shown that besides being vulnerable to the emotions, stress and burnout, the digestive tract possesses its own nervous system which communicates with the brain, so that the state of one necessarily influences that of the other. A healthy digestive tract and intestine will thus have a positive impact on overall physical and psychic well-being.
Slow digestion, stomach ache, reflux, bloating, intestinal contractions, bowel transit disorders: how can yoga help problems such as these, which people often hesitate to bring up?
