Lección 1
The Gut-Brain Axis
In this lesson, you’ll explore the gut-brain axis and how your nervous system directly influences your digestion. You’ll learn how stress shifts the body into fight-or-flight mode, disrupting normal digestive function and leading to symptoms like bloating, constipation, and/or diarrhea. By understanding this connection, you’ll begin to see your symptoms through a new lens. This awareness is the first step toward creating meaningful change and supporting your body’s natural healing process.
Lección 2
Breathwork Practice
In this practice, you’ll learn a simple breathwork technique to calm your nervous system and support your digestion. By extending your exhale, you signal safety to your body, helping it shift out of stress and into a rest-and-digest state. This gentle practice encourages your belly to soften, your shoulders to relax, and your system to settle. It’s a powerful tool you can use daily, especially before or after meals, to support optimal digestion and healing.
Lección 3
Stress And Your Digestion
Learn how stress directly impacts your digestive health and how calming your nervous system can help improve digestion. We'll explore the difference between the body's fight-or-flight mode and rest-and-digest mode, and why activating the parasympathetic nervous system is essential for optimal gut health.
Lección 4
Body Scan Meditation
In this guided body scan, you’ll gently bring awareness to different areas of your body and release stored tension. By slowing your breath and softening your muscles, especially in the abdomen, you support your nervous system in shifting into a calm, regulated state. This practice helps create space in the body, allowing your digestion to function more freely. It’s a simple yet powerful way to reconnect with your body and encourage deep relaxation.
Lección 5
The Diaphragm
Let's explore how posture and breathing directly influence your digestion. You’ll learn how slouching compresses your digestive organs, while an open, aligned posture creates space for better function. The role of the diaphragm is introduced as a key player in both breathing and gut health, gently massaging your internal organs and supporting natural digestive movement. By becoming more aware of how you breathe and hold your body, you can begin to improve digestion and reduce discomfort.
Lección 6
Diaphragm Release Practice
Today you’ll learn how to release tension in your diaphragm using a hands-on self-massage technique. By gently working under the ribcage, you can free up restrictions that may be limiting your breath and affecting your digestion. You’ll also explore how proper posture and diaphragmatic breathing create space for your digestive organs to function more efficiently. With regular practice, this combination can help reduce bloating, ease discomfort, and support a more relaxed, responsive gut.
Lección 7
Twisting Movement Practice
We’ll explore how gentle spinal twists and soothing abdominal self-massage can help relieve bloating and support your digestive system. Learn how spinal rotation stimulates the nerves connected to your digestive organs, promoting better blood flow, peristalsis, and overall gut health. Finish with a relaxing Wind Relieving Pose and take away practical tools to ease discomfort and encourage digestion.
Lección 8
Letting Go Of Burdens
In this lesson, you'll use a guided visualization to promote gut health by imagining a calming river flowing through your digestive system. I help you identify the emotions that are held in your gut. As the river clears blockages, it releases both physical tension and stored emotions, helping to create space for healing. This practice supports digestive flow while encouraging emotional release for a balanced, peaceful gut.
