Why Learn About the Gastrointestinal System?
The gastrointestinal system is vital in digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste—key functions for maintaining energy, mental clarity, and emotional balance. Yoga complements GI health by stimulating the digestive organs through poses (Asana) and breathing (Ppranayama), particularly by improving nervous system function.
