nauli

Body: 

Hello

I just watched the youtube video on the Nauli exercise and I remember doing that for yoga, but what it was used for was if you had constipation. This stimulates your colon and at the sametime it will help put your organs back to where they should go. It does take some practice with learning the breathing and pulling your muscles up and back and moving them around.

Have I got the wrong idea? Please correct me if I do.

Thanks again

try doing it while your fingers are inside your vagina and you will fell how powerfully it pulls the bladder forward!

This may sound like a silly question, but is that what were are trying to do, pull our bladder forward? I thought my bladder was lying on my anus muscle. I can feel something resting on that part of my body constantly.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm cautiously approaching Nauli, which looks really weird. My question is one of perspective. If I nauli counter-clockwise, is that with me being the clock or me facing the clock? If the clock is drawn on my abdomen, counter-clockwise means moving my muscles from my left toward my right. Is that correct?

Also, when combining firebreathing with Nauli, does "holding the stomach vacuum" from firebreathing mean that I do not inhale until completing Nauli?

I had been using the WW exercises from the book. I've recently begun using the DVD. I like the mat exercises. They seem like they ought to help move the organs forward. I wonder if my fascia or ligaments are just shot, though. Not having a dance background, I have not caught on to all the foot movements of the advanced workout. The baton work will undoubtedly benefit my shoulders.

I'm still having some problems with urine remaining in my urethra after I use the toilet. That leaves an uncomfortable squishy feeling. At least, outright incontinence is not nearly as big a problem as it used to be. Thanks for your help.

you are the clock if that helps,
as far as i understand, you firebreath out, then nauli not breathing in (at first i could only do about 2, it's steadily improving...)

btw, anyone know--can you firebreath / nauli during your period? just thought about that this week... i have been and i'm still here, but should i?
