Hi K
I am in love with this page which is bringing people with the same distressing problems together from all over the world (i am in the UK) so i thought i would let you know i am going to my first Yoga session tonight and am really hoping it will help as nothing else seems to be at the moment, slow going!

 Thank You. You answered my question on the wind pose. I have attended Hatha Yoga classes, have YOGA DVD's which I have not been able to use due to a flare of fibromyalgia and arthritis on my left knee. By the way, YOGA is highly recommended for IBS in many circles, I am so glad you are to help us. My rheumy has recommended I practice some "light" Yoga. Can you please recommend poses for the knees which are not too strenous, such as Warrior?
Namaste,
Olgis

Just to say that i did my first yoga class last night, and although i didnt particularly enjoy it i seem to be feeling better since, more energy and slept a little better though still not great, and had a good BM this morning. i will certainly persue this activity.

What if you don't have access to a Yoga class in your area? Are there any videos or self-help materials available for us who live in the sticks?

I've found some great used Yoga Video's on E-bay. How about the library? They may have a few books or video's you could try. Good luck!

Hi - I'm working on producing a yoga video that is specifically for improving GI health. I have had really great results from yoga, both classes and practicing at home. The best video I have is by David Swenson, it's ashtanga style. I have the beginner level, which is a bit of a joke because the routine is brutal. I can't even imagine the advanced routine! He also has a "short forms" tape with 15, 30, 45 minute workouts on it that I'd like to get. His tapes are at amazon.com.
I'll let you know when the IBS yoga tape is done.
Best,
Heather

I pretty much live in the sticks too, so I hear what your saying. There is a TON of videos and ways to access Yoga besides actually physically going to a class. I can give you some websites to visit if you want to check things out and just aheads up that Heather will be putting out an IBS specific Yoga tape in the fall.
peace,
K
