RLU,
Sorry for the long wait in my reply.. I have been away at a teacher training and just returned. I have lots of thoughts on this... I definitely think that yoga can help with constipation. In fact there are several postures (that I've had confirmed from IBS-C'ers) that specifically seem to help them. Having said that, I must also say that it is the yoga practice as a WHOLE that is helpful with IBS and not just yoga postures. The breathing, the mindfulness, body awareness, meditation and the physical postures are all aspects of a complete package. If you are looking for some postures to relieve gas, cramping or to perhaps get a BM in gear, yoga postures can certainly help. I am currently working on a section of my website that will show the postures as well as describe them with words... until then, If you are interested, I would be more than happy to try to relate some of them to you. Just let me know. have a beautiful day.
