Yoga for Digestive Problems



ringing bell is its demise.
This video uses only visual, non-verbal instruction. Before each exercise is performed, a screen shot of a stick figure in the Asana (pose) along with the technical name of the Asana is shown, which I suppose makes up for the lack of verbal directions. The Asana's shown are all very basic.

I was only able to get about 8 minutes into this before I had to turn it off; the major problem for me being the tingy doorbell like noise that would play at both the beginning and end of a pose presumably as a cue to tell you to move on to the next Asana. Had this noise been the sound of an actual chime, or bell, or flute it would be fine, but it wasn't, so it might as well been nails on a chalk board ringing every 30-60 seconds.

If you can get past this particular noise (or watch it on mute as sound isn't really necessary), this could be very good for someone just starting out with a yoga practice,or someone who prefers a gentle style of yoga.

I guess I will have...

Great meditative yoga for your belly
I thought this was a great, meditative yoga video. I don't particularly like the non-stop talking of many yoga videos. The chime at the beginning and end of each pose allows you to close your eyes and focus on your breathing and the pose and to meditate, rather than on the TV. Each pose is held for at least a minute or two, so that you can really get the meditation and stretch. However, since there is no verbal instructions, it helps if you have prior yoga experience to watch this video.
