Yoga for stomach pains
I think some time ago I wouldn't have believed that yoga can have direct and immediate benefits for my helth. But I suffer from stomach pains fairly often, so when my teacher Pat said that Supta Baddha Konasana was very helpful for that I decided to give it a go. For me, it works like a charm - I even use it prevent stomach pains after heavy meals. She says it's based on the fact that your stomach area "opens up" in this position and gives your internal organs more room - the instinctive reaction of curling into a fetal position is the worst thing you can do. Explanations sounds fair enough, and whatever the reason it really has made life easier for me.
