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: \u25cf What the gut-brain axis actually is &amp;amp; why it matters for your daily life. \u25cf How digestive discomfort can affect your nervous system, mood, energy &amp;amp; mental health. \u25cf Why Yoga can be such a powerful support for gut health without trying to replace medical care. \u25cf How simple practices like diaphragmatic breathing, gentle pressure, twists, yin &amp;amp; restorative Yoga can support digestion &amp;amp; nervous system regulation. \u25cf 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. \u25cf Introducing the digestion support series inside the Yoga Life Lab, inspired by Tiffany\u2019s work &amp;amp; this conversation.
