GI Research Foundation is proud to present the second in a series of video and audio exercises entitled "Active Practice: Yoga & Meditation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).," spearheaded by Dr. Biana Lanson, a Harvard Medical school trained, board certified otolaryngologist, a Castle Connolly Top Doctor and Patient Choice Award winner and an IBD patient with support from Gina Norman, Owner of Kaia Yoga studios in Fairfield County, CT, and Raphael Marmor of Delirio Films.

Studies have shown improvement in quality of life of IBD patients practicing yoga. After 8 to 12 weeks of consistent practicing, fewer patients reported arthralgia, lower reports of intestinal colic pain in yoga practitioners and the reduction of anxiety levels.
