Seven Radiant Reasons to Give Yoga a Chance

Life is a laundry basket full of stresses that need washing and ironing and constant care. We care for our families, our neighbors, our co-workers. We know how to take care of our outer selves, but what about our inner selves, namely, those internal organs that form our digestive journey, that don’t always cooperate exactly how we’d like them to? In yoga, digestion is a popular topic, as the ancient yogis knew that could judge how well a body was functioning based on its fuel usage, if you will. In Vinyasa Yoga, we warm up the midsection with abdominal work and then we twist. These midsection twisting poses heat the internal organs, wringing them out like a dishcloth, thoroughly detoxifying the body. Try it tonight, a couple of hours after dinner. You’ll know its working.
