Sharing a few #Pranayama practices that I use when I’m going through a flare-up of my #UlcerativeColitis symptoms. My breath really helps me soothe not only my physical symptoms, but some of the emotional and mental symptoms I go through when I’m down and out.
💩
👉🏽 i don’t like to do any #pranayamas that agitate my system and stomach (think #kapalabhati and #bhastrika) . That’s why I choose really gentle practices just to give myself a sense of relief from my anxiety and stress related to my disease. 
👉🏽 if you can’t fold/roll your tongue, use #Sheetkari pranayama instead by bringing your top and bottom teeth together and inhaling through the teeth. this is an internally cooling technique and with ulcerative colitis, we tend to build a lot of heat and acid. 
👉🏽 for belly breathing, I don’t use #ujjayi. Just a really slow abdominal breath with an open throat. 
👉🏽 if sitting makes you uncomfortable, lay down and try these pranayamas, or put cushions under your bum and behind your back for support. 
👉🏽 finally, i recommend these practices for any one suffering with #autoimmune diseases or #chronicillness. all of these pranayamas are gentle and safe just remember the golden rule of #prana - she doesn’t like to be forced so treat her with respect and ease.
