Topic Explanation:
Mari is seeking advice on practicing yoga with a stoma and how to discreetly hide it during the practice.
Advice and Insights:
1. Consider using high-waisted panties or close-fitting vest tops with Indian cotton harem-style trousers to hide the stoma during yoga.
2. Confidence is key, and it's important not to be too self-conscious about what others might see or think.
3. A StealthBelt or a belt made by Ostomy Guard can help keep the stoma secure and discreet during yoga.
4. Consider wearing shorts and a tee-shirt if that would make you feel more comfortable.
5. Communicate with the yoga instructor about any limitations or concerns, and if the instructor is not sensitive to your needs, it might be the wrong class.
6. Consider using a hernia belt, especially if you have concerns about acquiring a hernia during yoga practice.
7. It's important to not let fear of what others think limit your activities, and if someone judges or hates you for your stoma, they are not worth your concern.
8. Practicing yoga with a stoma can be a great way to relax, gain strength, and improve overall well-being.
