I am wondering if anyone knows what poses were used in that study Heather sent in her last newsletter. The one that compared yoga with using imodium. I am very interested in giving this a try.

and here's the study itself Yoga for IBS but the names are in Sanskrit. You could maybe do a google search for the Sanskrit names and see if that pops up the English equivalent of the poses, with pictures. Or ask a yoga teacher at your local school. You can also check the Yoga for IBS section of the website for specific poses with pictures.

I believe these are common English names of the poses:
Vajrasana – thunderbolt pose
Shashankasana – hare pose
Ushtrasana – camel pose
Marjariasana – cat stretch pose
Padhastasana – forward bending pose
Dhanurasana – bow pose
Trikonasana in two variations – triangle pose (there are several versions)
Pawanmuktasana – this is an entire program (with three parts, one digestive/abdominal group).
Paschimottanasana – back stretching pose
Surya Nadi pranayama – this is a breathing exercise
