This one is for all my #UlcerativeColitis warriors out there, because with changing seasons, fluctuating environments, and variations in our immunity, often times comes a flare. I have been living with this disease for about 25 years now, and I only wish I had discovered the power of yoga and #pranayama sooner, but it is never too late and we all have our own journeys as we navigate living with a #chronicillness with these specific symptoms. 
💪🏽
Here are my favorite soothing #YogaAsanas for when I experience a MILD flare in my UC symptoms. 
💩
Pointers:
👉🏽 if I didn’t emphasize cushions, bolsters, and pillows enough in this video, I’m tellin’ ya - the more padding, the better! It will prevent any unnecessary pressure on your intestines which in turn cause you to run to the loo. 
👉🏽 that brings me to my next point, practice these and all asanas with a 🚽 nearby to prevent accidents. They happen, it’s totally natural for us, and I’m honestly just so OVER the shame we go through in this regard. Can’t we all just 💩in ☮️ ?
👉🏽 everyone’s flares are different due to the location and level of inflammation in the intestines, so it may be more painful in certain areas of the abdomen so if any of these poses are more agitating than relaxing, skip it. 
👉🏽 it’s important to remember that this disease can be super painful and draining when one is experiencing a flare, so if all the energy you can muster is simply laying down on some cushions stacked under your back and breathing through it, do that! 
💕
Finally, if you have any questions or are really down and out with your symptoms, DM me and I’ll do my best to help and support you. It’s hard, I know, but we’re in this together! (But also remember, I’m not a doctor so consult with one plsssss).
