1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 How Yoga Can Support Your Gut Health In this episode, I am joined by Tiffany Pridgen, nurse, neuroscientist, GI physiology researcher, equestrian athlete &amp;amp; Yoga teacher, for a conversation about the gut-brain axis, digestive health, chronic discomfort, nervous system regulation &amp;amp; how Yoga can become a tool to support the way we feel in our body. We talk about how digestion is not only something happening in the stomach or intestines, but part of a much bigger communication system between the gut, the brain, the immune system &amp;amp; the nervous system, and how practices like breath, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, gentle compression, twists &amp;amp; self-myofascial release (MFR) can help us create more awareness, safety &amp;amp; agency in the body. In this episode you'll learn: ● What the gut-brain axis actually is &amp;amp; why it matters for your daily life. ● How digestive discomfort can affect your nervous system, mood, energy &amp;amp; mental health. ● Why Yoga can be such a powerful support for gut health without trying to replace medical care. ● How simple practices like diaphragmatic breathing, gentle pressure, twists, yin &amp;amp; restorative Yoga can support digestion &amp;amp; nervous system regulation. ● Why it does not have to be a full class or a complicated routine to make a difference, and how one small tool can already change the way you relate to discomfort in your body. ● Introducing the digestion support series inside the Yoga Life Lab, inspired by Tiffany’s work &amp;amp; this conversation.
