Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder with symptoms like abdominal cramps, bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhoea. While it can be uncomfortable and affect daily life, simple lifestyle changes such as reducing stress and adding movement can help manage it.

Yoga is a natural way to ease IBS symptoms. It calms the nervous system, improves digestion, and helps reduce abdominal discomfort. Some yoga poses also support gut health by increasing circulation and encouraging regular bowel movements.

What causes IBS?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is often linked to a problem in the way the brain and gut communicate. When this connection is disrupted, the digestive system can overreact to normal processes like eating or digestion. This overreaction may lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, or bloating.

Stress and anxiety are major triggers. These emotional factors can cause the release of certain chemicals in the gut that affect how the muscles contract, slowing down or speeding up digestion. This imbalance can easily bring on IBS symptoms.
