Hi I've just briefly looked at the research and downloaded to read later. I just wish they had trials like that in the UK.

If you post with your rough area (don't give your address) others may be able to suggest a good teacher near you.

Give it a try if you are interested.

Best wishes,

Ernest

Hi, I have found a good yoga teacher but have not gone as I am afraid of accidents.So if anyone can point me in the right direction for a yoga teacher who focuses on ibs I would definitely give it a go.

I live in Liverpool One.

If you have the budget treat yourself by starting with a one to one session (or online perhaps) until you have the confidence of experience.

I found there was never an issue to leave the room and re-join later.

Thanks for your reply. I'll certainly take your advice on board.

Thank you for posting this. I was also interested to see the citations in it, which point to studies of the benefits of yoga for other health conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (my daughter has CFS). We did try doing yoga together for a while a year or two ago, maybe we should revisit the idea.

[Ernest2 in reply to Iesgobdafydd]

Go for it.

Worth finding a good teacher in your area.

Best wishes,

Ernest

Interesting how the type of Yoga was chosen, as there are different aspects and some probably affect the brain and some the body.

Sounds like then there could be lots more trials to find best combinations for different patients.

Best wishes
