Thank you so much, I don't know if this will be a big difference maker but I have been dealing with a great deal of stomach problems and this provided a fraction of relief. I will be a part of your group for a while!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Good morning Yinsters! This time of year we often struggle with digestion - the change of season, the holidays, dietary changes - all of this can cause digestive distress. This 30 minute practice is meant to bring balance to your digestion in a short time by focusing on the meridians related to our digestion! Enjoy! Peace, Aprille

[@dulciedekock1230]

Thank you so much for this practice. After trauma, yin yoga has been a vital aspect of my healing. Your videos soothe and uplift me, and make my body feel relaxed in a way that is beyond words. Endless gratitude 🌀

You are so very welcome and I wish you health and healing. Thank you for joining me and may you have a peaceful day!

Returned to this practice today after a rough night of digestive issues. Perfect for around the holidays! Thank you Aprille

You're so welcome!

I have autoimmune disease and it affects my pancreas, liver, and digestion in general. This exercise was peaceful and relaxing. I heard and felt the gurgling in my stomach. Thank you for creating this sequence.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You are so very welcome! I personally know what digestion struggles feel like and I am happy this practice helped your digestion fire up. I have a couple more practices focused on digestion like this on my channel if you are interested. Have a lovely day! Peace, Aprille ❤🌞

Thank you, Aprille! I'll keep you updated on my digestive health. I just started back up with this one, it really helps me conquer malabsorption, food intolerances, celiac symptoms, etc. Glad to have your videos. You mean a lot to me.

You are very welcome Elizabeth and I wish you health and healing! I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the practices and have a wonderful week! Peace, Aprille

Aprille Goddess, you have totally saved my night with this set. I awakened with severe sharp pains in my abdomen on right side. I could barely move to the floor to start this set, but I am so grateful I powered through it, because the pain is gone! You are amazing. Thank you so Much.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You're so welcome! I am sorry to hear you were feeling unwell and I hope you are doing much better now. Thank you for joining me and have a wonderful day! Peace, Aprille

[@mjrussell414]

This one popped up for me and it is perfect because I am battling SIBO and found myself with greater than normal tummy bloating today. (I knew that ice cream last night was a bad choice - lesson learned). I also don’t have a lot of time before I have to go pick up my father-in-law from his bi-weekly cancer treatment so it is a great length, though I see another suggestion for a longer one I may due when I return. Anyone with digestive disorders should try intermittent fasting as well as that really helps me and gives the system a break so it can heal. Blessings to everyone!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You will find a lot of digestive practices on here as I too suffer from GI issues. I do find that using lots of twists with longer holds, and some belly compression helps and practices that focus on the earth element (stomach/spleen), bring more relief. Thank you for joining me Marilyn and I hope you feel better!

[@katjatezak4476]

Thank you so much me and my whole family loved it! We are doing all your yoga together and it’s helping us huge 🙏💕🌸

[@kumaridesilva3992]

@@YogaRangerStudio I've been running as my main exercise and using your yin yoga as my daily cool-down, but is there such a thing as too much yin? Is it safe to do daily? Today I noticed I've become pretty floppy. . . should I alternate days with Ashtanga?

[@YogaRangerStudio]

It depends on your lifestyle as a whole really. If you feel you need more grounding, centering, "stretching" In your day, then Yin every day is beneficial. I personally practice Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and Restorative each week for balance but sometimes, I will practice Yin every day! It just depends. If you love Ashtanga, definitely keep it I your weekly practices.... Each one will offer something different and needed.

[@kumaridesilva3992]

@@YogaRangerStudio okay, that sounds good. I think I am being attracted to Yin daily right now because of the circumstances. Being shut in makes me slow down and yearn for meditative stuff. I think as long as I cross train I won't get too floppy. Thanks. Your feedback makes me feel less alone. I definitely thought there would be more Zombies in the apocalypse. . .instead it's just kind of binge watch old movies and read books. So far not one Zombie.

[@kasandrastaniscia4447]

Been having some digestive upset and this definitely gave me gurgles - the good kind! Thank you.

[@feliciashulman-rowat6277]

hit the spot as always.😻 Question, in the "more pie pose"😎, does putting the foot flat knee up deepen the pose? As opposed to that opposite leg long? I have never done that before.🙏💜

[@YogaRangerStudio]

It's a variation that for some people will indeed deepen it but for others it may not. I love to see what each position will bring me in my practice so feel free to try shifting your foot around even taking it out to the side or bringing your foot to the inside of your bent knee thigh and see how that feels and what sensations come up for you. Thanks for joining me Felicia and GREAT question!

[@feliciashulman-rowat6277]

@@YogaRangerStudio thank you for the Gr8 answer. I shall explore the next time I do the pose. xofelish

[@DollyWilde]

Hi! Thanks for this! So question, in half pie pose, and with regards to the intention of this set, is it ok to not use the bolster?

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Glad you liked it! Absolutely. If you feel that 2/3 of your maximum pose depth is better achieved without the bolster, then try it. I often use just a rolled blanket down my back and that's 2/3 of my maximum. It is a pretty deep pose and the bolster makes it accessible for more people. Have a great day! Peace, Aprille

[@melinixD]

Thank you for another lovely practice, Aprille! 🙌🏻 I have a question: what does it mean if I can feel the hardness in my bowels when massaging? Supposing I have not done anything particularly off with my eating, does this say something about my digestion?

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Good question! Often it may mean that your body is waiting until rest and digest time (until it can relax) to process food properly. Some people have slower digestion as well due to health, age, history, medications, illness, hormone changes and more. Peace, Aprille

[@melinixD]

I do one or two videos of you daily and never have I felt the need to push the thumbs down button :) The pose with the big bolster is impossible for me :D I don't understand how one can stay there for more than 5 breaths :))

[@YogaRangerStudio]

It’s definitely a challenging pose and about 7 years ago, I would have said the exact same thing but Yin has helped me find some comfort here. You can always try the half version or if that’s too much, take a supported bridge with a bolster or blankets under the hips and legs stretched out straight. I have a Saddle tutorial that might offer some other suggestions you could try as well. Thank you so very much for your kind words and support and I wish you a lovely day! Peace, Aprille
