Lesson 1

The Gut-Brain Axis

Learn how your brain and gut communicate through the gut-brain axis, with the vagus nerve playing a vital role. Discover how stress affects digestion and practice a calming breathwork exercise to support your gut health.

Lesson 2

Rest And Digest

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. Through gentle body scanning and vagus nerve activation techniques, such as humming, you’ll begin to release tension and shift into a state that supports smoother digestion. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you’ll be taking key steps toward supporting your digestive system.

Lesson 3

Diaphragm Release

Dive deeper into the connection between posture, diaphragm activation, and digestion. By improving your posture and releasing tension in your diaphragm, you can enhance digestion, reduce bloating, and support overall gut health. Learn how to self-release your diaphragm and notice how much easier it is to breathe and digest!

Lesson 4

Gentle Movements And Self-Massage

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.

Lesson 5

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.

I really enjoyed that, Stress in my gut is something I’ve been dealing with, and it can be difficult to navigate. Although, it did sound like there would be one more session, I want more! There were lots of reminders, an understanding which I appreciated, and I also liked the visuals. Thank you for these lessons, I look forward to other tracks 🙂
