I've been looking into starting yoga for my IBS. I'm D most of the time. Heather listed some sequences but I can't seem to figure out what the first one is. She's listed it as "cross bolsters pose". Any ideas? It's listed on her Yogabellies page. I've found the others and am going to try them out tonight. Do you have any other suggestions? I am going to start with the ones for diahhrea and then go on to the sequence for IBS in general. I would appreciate any help in this.

Hey Corinne,
Hope this helps......
Cross Bolsters. (Salamba Adho Mukha Svanasana)
Place a bolster or rolled blanket on the floor. Lay another bolster across the center of the first. Sit in the middle of the top bolster and then lie back along its length, with your spine supported and the top of your head touching the floor. (If there is strain in your neck, support it with a folded blanket.) Lay your arms out to your sides, fingers pointing away from your torso. If you feel discomfort in your back, raise your feet on a block. Your chest should be supported at the apex of the pose so it can expand and open.
To come out of the pose, bend your legs and turn to the side.
Some Benefits:
This pose helps you breathe deeply. Circulation is increased through the adrenals, the thyroid, and the kidneys.

It helps a lot, thanks. Now I just have to see if I can figure it all out.
