Description

Learn how to relieve constipation and promote healthy bowel function with Dustienne Miller, a board certified women’s health physical therapist and Kripalu-trained yoga teacher, as she invites you to use breath and gentle yoga postures to balance the nervous system and muscles that influence gut function.

Each clearly-demonstrated movement is designed to guide you safely through a home yoga practice, created specifically to support treatment and management of constipation.

This easy-to-follow, stress-relieving home practice serves as a holistic adjunct to traditional medical approaches. This tailored program contains two sections:

Asana (15 minutes)

Asana incorporates gentle and slow movements combined with conscious breathing.

The design of this flow

  • mobilizes fascial connections to the colon and entire GI system,
  • decreases holding patterns of pelvic floor muscles, and
  • encourages breathing techniques to optimize the relationship between the diaphragm and your pelvic floor.

Relaxation (10 minutes)

The relaxation allows you to experience the physical letting go of your muscles relaxing and stress melting away.

The parasympathetic nervous system response (rest and digest) is increased and your body, mind, and spirit are allowed time to integrate the changes that occurred during your practice.

Each flow works to counteract the mechanical causes that contribute to constipation. By integrating these flows into your overall pelvic health strategy, you create another opportunity for self-healing and increase the potential to live your healthiest, happiest life.

    This is an exceptional 25 minute video that helps to calm the nervous system, relax the belly, and relax the pelvic floor muscles to help promote optimal gut function. This video is a great resource and one that I often recommend to my patients. It is a great routine to do if you struggle with every day constipation or to be done on those specifically challenging days (like traveling).
    Dustienne is so thoughtful in her poses for this video, making them very achievable, relaxing, but also identifying the specific restrictions in the body that usually impact constipation.

    I purchased this video (as part of the 4 set bundle) after originally purchasing just the Yoga for Interstitial Cystitis video. I was so impressed with how the IC yoga video helped me to relax my pelvic floor muscles that I wanted even more options. Although I don’t typically have a problem with constipation, the stretches in this video provide me with more ways to relax my overly tight pelvic floor muscles. I even emailed Dustienne to make sure that doing this video was safe for an IC patient, and she quickly replied that it was. I can see how it would work for people with constipation because I have actually felt things moving in my system while doing the video. I have been doing it at least two times a week in the evenings, and highly recommend it to anyone who has tight pelvic floor muscles, whether you’re suffering from constipation or not.
