If your struggling with IBD, IBS or other stomach problems - this Meetup is for you. I started this group because I myself suffer from Colitis and turned to yoga for help. I know firsthand that it makes me feel better and I can show you the tools to help you feel great too! I'm a yoga teacher and my true passion is to help others find their sense of calm in the body. Join me for a special class that will focus on breathing techniques, meditation and gentle postures. Hope to meet you soon!
